10min subs for Ha? Dreaming of owning a large aperture reflector of some kind perhaps- hmmm? 
Cheers, Marcus |
Subtle beauty alright the whole Vela SNR/Gum Nebula region is just incredible. It's a nother example of something we have down here that just blows away what they have in Northern Hemisphere ala the Veil Nebula
Large say 12" say F3.8'ish maybe?

Yes very cathatic....I'm pretty happy to have found somewhere to image from within 45min of my home and under pretty dark skies... still a pain in the proverbial mind you to lug everything there, just a shorter trip

Planning to shoot yet another incredibly overshot areas after attacking M42, 3372 and 2070
Well done mate.

Like I said the image scale is just enough and the FOV allows capture of plenty of offerings in one frame
The Vela region is full of lots of stuff just gotta search it out..like the Great Barrier Reef, you've got'a know where the best spots are though

Yes it makes a nice contrast with the delicate filamentarty structure oposite, that's why I went for the framing. Looks liek a bit of dust extinction too as the neb is very red/orange.

A very good pick of the object as well, like you said, not much of these being tried.
