Dear all, here is my last picture I just finished to process. It is a four panel mosaic taken with my trusty Pentax 300mm EDIF lens covering an area of almost 140 square degrees centered in the Vela SNR region. The total exposure totaled more than 38 hours, 30 hours of which for Ha and OIII data. I have to say that it took me at least the same time to process the image.
In the link below is the relative page on my web site, there are link to a "poster" size version (about 2k x 2k pixels) and to a zoomable version to 4k x 4k pixels:
The original tiff file is about 1GB at 7000x7000 pixels!
I got quite crazy to convert the picture to the standard sRGB internet color, I hope it looks good on your monitors, on mine (wide gamut) it is quite impressive!
I hope you will like it, critics and comments are welcome
Super work and heaps of detail. Couple of guys I know laugh at me when I suggest imaging this area. Well you know who you are and here it is, someone has done it. Well done.
Quite surprised by the amount you have revealed, never seen that much data before...... Mind you I don't know any amatuer who's gone 38 hours for ANY image before.
Sensational!
This is probably the best Vela Remnant I've seen to date. Your processing was terrific. I also enjoyed a lot the description at your page, well done!
That is one superb shot. Very deep indeed. A lot of details I've never seen before. It's interesting to see the center of the original explosion and all the ramifications. Top shelf work.
Stunner ! a pleasure to view. cheers.
