Vela SNR and Gum Nebula Mosaic

I will put up more details later. I am a bit tired.

Meanwhile here are a few versions of different quality.

Small 3MB

Large 9MB

Extra large 30MB

The FOV is 11.8 x 11.5 degrees


You should be able to see a few fields imaged at higher magnification and resolution by others.

This image to me shows that the Vela SNR as an object in the foreground and the much larger Gum Nebula which is a far earlier SN remnant.

I am sure it will be Sidonioed!

The original tiff is 800MB. Without the 12GB of RAM in my i7 this would be very difficult to do.
