Gum Nebula & Vela SNR wide angle view

Hi all
Reprocessed an image of this area from last season when I borrowed Houghys new cooled DSLR 350D to try some narrowband imaging of sorts
Shot with standard Canon 50mm f1.8 lens wide open, so significant distortions. Image is made up of:
3x15 mins shot through Baader 7Nm Ha filter
3x15 mins through Baader Narrowband O3 filter
Combined manually in Photoshop by assigning the HA to the red channel, and the O3 to green and blue channels.
I was happy enough to get the spiderweb like tendrils of the Vela SNR. Was just an experiment to see what I could get with his cooled DSLR and relatively short total exposure times. If Id stopped the lens down to F4.5 or so and gone many hours it would have looked much better
