Vela Supernova Mosaic

gregbradley · #1 28-05-2013, 11:31 AM

I shot this mosaic about a month ago. I had 3 clear nights and good seeing.

TEC110 fluorite and FLI Proline 16803 on a PMX. Vixen guide scope and SBIG STi guide camera.

4 panels, each 2:45 hours consisting of Ha O111 plus red, green and blue each panel.

Super image Greg. Don't think I've seen anything like it before.

Thanks Peter. Its my favourite part of the Southern Sky.

The Proline and the little TEC scope have a very wide field of view so 4 panels was feasible. I may add to it but that would then require a minimum of 2 more, and to go all the way round it would 10 more! It adds up fast.

Super shot Greg. Love the processing on that one. The high-res is superb, both colors and details.

Thanks Marc. I did a repro on the NGC 6188 to fix up the stars as well.

That looks fantastic, Greg! The processing is not overdone, either. Great work!

Thanks H. Its very easy to overdo it with such powerful software.

Really nice result indeed Greg, great field size

...as John says it could use so many panels you would be..

... spending 120hrs on imaging the one object?..I mean imagine that

how ridiculous

.....

Seriously, it's nice for me to see actually, as I said with your Fighting Dragons, the resolution was about the same as my 12" under Newie skies, but here I can see a difference now as I have imaged a part of that area you have there from Wallaroo (thank god

)

Perhaps it will be an ongoing project. I'll grab some frames whenever it and I are available!

Very nice Greg. I really like the detail and the colouring looks great.

Just out of interest how fast is your system? I am around f5.6 with the 4" and get halos on the bright stars. Do you use a fast system and do you use Astrodon filters? I am using Astronomiks which have been exchanged once already and note that your images don't have the halo problem mine sometimes do have. I wonder if it is the filters, the f ratio or if it is a combination of both.
