Trying for Vela SNR
There are numerous fantastic images of this SNR on the web but I have found it a bit difficult to pin down coordinates For the more dramatic bits. To compound the problem, my ASiair lists do not include either Vela SNR or Gum 12 so I have been reduced to a bit of guesswork. Of course the weather doesn’t help nor the full moon this week.
I know this SNR spans about 8 degrees and my FOV with the rig I’m using is just 1.0 x 0.77 deg.
I wonder if anyone has so RA/Dec numbers for the brighter sections of this object. I’m not ready for mosaics because sky time is so limited. I don’t have the patience to do a NB 12 panel mosaic. It would take months.
