Vela Supernova Remnant: 38 hours mosaic!

Dear all, here is my last picture I just finished to process. It is a four panel mosaic taken with my trusty Pentax 300mm EDIF lens covering an area of almost 140 square degrees centered in the Vela SNR region. The total exposure totaled more than 38 hours, 30 hours of which for Ha and OIII data. I have to say that it took me at least the same time to process the image.

In the link below is the relative page on my web site, there are link to a "poster" size version (about 2k x 2k pixels) and to a zoomable version to 4k x 4k pixels:

The original tiff file is about 1GB at 7000x7000 pixels!

I got quite crazy to convert the picture to the standard sRGB internet color, I hope it looks good on your monitors, on mine (wide gamut) it is quite impressive!

I hope you will like it, critics and comments are welcome

Clear Skies
