I have a large transparency (450mm x 450mm) of Vela SN. The film was made by the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh from a glass plate taken at the UK Schmidt Telescope at Siding Spring, near Coonabarbran, NSW. The film was saved from the ROE film library when it was being closed down.
The transparency film takes up a field of view 5 degrees x 5 degrees, and the Vela SN takes up the whole field. The detail in the filaments is awesome.
The UK Schmidt film shows stars to Mag 23, two million times fainter than the human eye can see. I have other images for sale but few come close to the stunning appearance of this transparency. And
this is my last Vela SN transparency for sale. It was taken in H alpha and is centred on RA 08h 40min, Dec -44 degrees 47 min.
The price is $40 plus postage, which is likely to be $5 to Australian destinations. Postage will be combined if other pieces of film are purchased. I am in the process of creating a list and description of all the film that is available. Please email me on
naomiian@bigpond.net.au if you are interested.

Ian
