Exquisite. Just the right focal length.

Thanks Humuyan. It does evoke those sorts of image.

Its the O111 that has all the fine detail. Ha has some but O111 is the bulk. S11 is quite detailed as well which surprised me as it is usually the most bland.

Red (SII?) seems to have left some star artifacts. As an alternative view, ive clipped the background to isolate the cloud structure, sorry about the low res.

Thanks Fred. I fixed those red stars. Not sure what causes that - S11 lets some stars through the other 2 don't? Anyway a bit of colour range tool fixed it.

I'm in the process of redoing it from the ground up to use median combine as these newer sensitive chips really pick up cosmic rays and sum combine lets these little squiggly lines through and median combine filters them out. The slight extra detail of the sum combine (not always any difference though) isn't worth the rubbish it leaves behind.

That's amazing how you do that Bert. I see I lucked out in that that was the exact area I wanted to image as it looked like it had the most detail in it for O111 and Ha areas. I was hit or miss though as I wasn't sure where I was in the field. I guess the hour I spent trying to find it was worth it. 1 minute exposures just to frame it. I wish the Sky V6.0 had Vela in it - its a hell of an omission.

I think its one of the best areas of both the northern and southern skies.

Its quite a dramatic part of the sky. The vastness of the explosion is mind boggling. Lets hope one of these stars doesn't blow up near earth.

I wonder if there is dangerous amounts of energy left in these shock waves or is it all dissipated by now?

Thanks Gary. Its not well documented in software and it is virtually invisible to anything less than about a minute exposure so its a tad hidden.

It sure is my favourite. Rob Gendlers image is a reference image for me. He has done the best job of it. FSQ106N and STL11 on a Paramount ME in Bringelly is what he used and the sky 6 and the mosaic tool I imagine for software planning and execution of the mosaic.
