Vela SNR with 6 inch schmidt newtonian

Hi
Heres the Vela supernova remnant, a rather faint spiders web of nebulous tendrils. Hard to get from light polluted areas but the modded camera , fast f3.6 speed and the UHCS filter make it possible from light polluted Wallsend.

image is 9x5 mins ISO 400, with Baader UHC-S filter and MPCC coma corrector, Hutech modded 350D camera, on the old Meade 6 inch f3.6 "Cometracker" Schmidt Newtonian. Hand guided. Processed in IRIS, Photoshop and Noiseware.
Located quickly with the Argo Navis
