Thanks Rick. The veil nebula is magnificent but thoughtlessly located. It is sad that apart from those two huge ones, and the sensibly sized Crab, most SNR's are very small. Perhaps it's because the sun is in a relatively quiet leafy neighbourhood, which is why we're still here and not blown to bits. All makes the Vela and Veil SNR's very special. Guess one day there will be a third one, courtesy of Eta Carinae.
