Starless SNRs

Now my flexure problems have been reduced I hope to use the Astrodon Continuum filter to remove stars from mosaics of faint SNRs.

The first two pictures below show about a quarter of RCW114 with and without stars. I used StarTools to remove the stars.

Here is a large image of the Vela SNR in NII and OIII done the same way. 9MB

As you can see the really faint stuff is far clearer without the star clutter. It will also be easier to add to RGB data.
