The Pencil Nebula NGC2736
At the leading edge of the the Vela Supernova Remnant - NGC2736 is part of a shock wave moving through space at more than 600,000km/h and strikes a beautiful (if not chaotic) scene. This is one of the brightest parts of the SNR, but there's so much going on in this whole area it's hard to camp in one spot for too long!
I've been doing some widefield imaging in the region when the weather will allow, and by the end of the season should be ready to put together some mosaics, but the Pencil stands somewhat alone and so I thought I'd jump the gun and push something out now.
Stacked using APP's Ha-Oiii algorithm. Quite a bit of Ha in the background and I decided to pull it back a bit to stop it distracting from the main target. Comments/critique welcome as always!
