The Vela SuperNova Remnant

This is one of my favourite areas of the night sky. The Vela SuperNova Remnant.

I took this one last weekend with the AstroPhysics RHA 305mm F3.8 scope and a FLI Proline 16803.

A Ha and LRGB blend.

It shows the Supernova explosion shockwaves quite clearly. I wonder if they still have massive energy in them or not.
