Hi Tom,

I have spent absolute hours following the filaments around that neck of the woods with my TARDIS (18 inch f/4.5 big blue box Dobo, hence the nic-name) and an O-III filter. You have caught that section of the Vela SNR brilliantly, as well as the nearby Gum Nebulae which form a fine contrast to the thin spindles in your frame.

A very busy and very rewarding part of the sky. Great stuff.

Coops

That's a masterpiece Tom. Such wonderful framing and detail.
The AP155 is the king of its class and the Proline 16803 the king of its class also.

Magnificent as always Tom. A striking image with so much diversity across the target. Well worth spending time to digest everything.

Great image.
