Pushing the limits, Vela Supernova Remnant.

Hi,

Here's an image I thought I'd never be able to get with an unmodded DSLR, but here it is!

Apart from the Pencil nebula the rest of the Vela Supernova is faint. I've tried before but didn't have the processing skills and the use of ISO 6400 helps a lot, and dark skies.

This image is centred at Star Ced 106c RA.8h 29m 27.4s Dec -44 43'24'.
It took a lot of digging to bring out the detail,( see original stacked image.)

Can't wait to have a go at other area's of the remnant!!

8” F/4 astrograph , baader type 3 coma corrector,. HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Camera.
Unmodded Cannon 1100D plus cooler box., 60 x 2 minute subs at ISO 6400. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker .Processed in Photoshop Cs2..
Cheers,
Justin.
