I was trolling though my files and found some data from February which I hadn't processed. Only 50 minutes of subs and I was a bit rusty in the processing so I went softly trying to remove some noise and skyglow.
So here it is, the 8 burst planetary nebula in Vela, 10 subs of 5 minutes each, darks and bias files applied, taken with the Atik 314L+ on the 8" Skywatcher newtonian. Stacked in DSS and processed in Photoshop CS3.
Excellent Chris! Good to see some 'space' around such a target. In my opinion, the true colour palette tends to suit this target more than the Hubble palette. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Rod, the colours come out well on the camera, one reason I like doing nebulae with it.

I think this may be caused by some stretching in DSS Rolf, it brings out a lot of the colours in the stars, but it also gives off some funky colours sometimes. I am working on trying some different settings as I go.
