Vela Supernova Remnant - deep image

Hello all,

Here's a recent image of a very interesting but very faint object, the Vela Supernova Remnant.

The image was done with the 4.3" WO refractor working at f/4.9 with the 0.8x reducer/corrector and 2" CLS filter. Mounted on a G-11 and autoguided for 96-minutes (12 x 8-min. subs.) using Houghys cooled DSLR set to ISO 800. Processed with ImagesPlus and P/shop.

This 33% reduction is worth a look http://www.skylab.com.au/pmsa/VelaSuperNovaRemnant.html
