The Vela SNR
This is part of the Vela supernova remnant, a huge object which extends over 8 degrees of sky. The image may include nebulosity from the adjacent Puppis A SNR whose centre is just a degree or so out of frame.
The Vela SNR is quite low in my southern sky, culminating at just under 32 degrees of altitude. I gathered nearly 24 hours of data in total over 11 separate nights from December through February. A filter was essential and I used the STC astro-multispectra LP filter. It will be worth revisiting with a dual narrowband filter.
This is an integration of 208 x 180s and 202 x 240s frames shot on a QHY168C OSC. The scope was a WO Zenithstar 103 with the Flat61. Sequence Generator Pro and PHD2 were used to manage the image capture and guiding, all post-processing was done with PixInsight.
Observed from Prachinburi, Thailand.
