Vela revisited

The nice thing about a 9000 x 6000 pixel image is there are often interesting sections of the data that invite closer scrutiny.

Appalling imaging weather can also be a good motivator to mine old data..

I hope you enjoy the up-close-and-personal view here

that's lovely. Like a web made by a drunk, but artistic and psychedelic spider.
Definitely a target on my hit-list.

That one keeps on giving. There is another level of details in a thinner area not often seen within the larger fronts mostly in the Oiii channel but also visible in some of the Ha. Quite a treat.

Thanks for the vote of confidence gentlemen. The blue areas remind me of cirrus veils that would sometimes drape on the top of actively growing storms in the tropics as I few past them in my previous life.
They were quite a sight! I suspect the process here is not too dis-similar.

Nice Peter, it appears that you're channelling Jackson Pollock with that one!

Ta Andy.
Pollock had indeed crossed my mind when looking for interesting structures in the nebula.
Interestingly, there have been suggestions Pollock was a "fractal nature" artist.
I frankly never saw the attraction of his works....nature does a much better job IMHO

Of course you do...but at least the $A is looking pretty healthy at the moment.
