Vela Supernova Remnant

I had previously thought that this target was non-viable with a DSLR, but after seeing Justin's DSLR version of this region a few months back I decided I would have a go with my setup as well.

Image data captured over four nights from Dec 28 - Jan 31.

Telescope: 130mm f5 newtonian
Mount: HEQ5
Camera: modded Canon 450D with regulated cooling at 10C
Exposure details: 83 x 480s @ ISO1600

Hi res here: http://www.astrobin.com/full/153530/0/

I found this a tricky one to balance the processing of the wispy nebulosity with that of the rich star field. Critique welcome
