Rivers of Gas

My fascination with the Vela Supernova Remnant continues.
It took me a while to locate this part of the nova. It shows up best in O111. But it is nearly invisible in less than about a minute exposure so a lot of trial and error to locate the interesting parts of the nova.

What an amazing amount of debris left over when a large star blows up. Huge amount of stuff. Just shows you how highly condensed stars must be.

TEC180FL, FLI PL16803, Tak NJP mount.
Astrodon 5nm O111S11HaO111 140 130 130 Ha was 1x1 binned and O111 and S11 were 1x1. I think its better to do 2x2 even on the Ha
and I did that on the last night imaging the Nova.
