Remnant 7:15 hours

The Vela Supernova Remnant RA 8:35 Dec 45:45 (in between Suhail and Regor) look for the 4 star asterism and the little group of stars in the shape of a 7 to orient the view.

This took a long time to process. I've been wanting to image this area again after imaging it a lot last year with an FSQ.

This is a huge area of nebulosity.

You can see what appears to be the centre of the explosion with concentric rings going out and a blast of hydrogen gas up the top part.
It must have been one huge explosion.

It is HaO111LRGB 35 160 60 60 60 for a total of 7:15 hours.

Tak BRC250, Apogee U16M camera, Baader filters.

From my dark site in NSW.
