NGC 2736 - Pencil Nebula
SHO- and RGB-image of the Pencil Nebula (NGC 2736), acquired with CHI-1.
NGC 2736 is a small part of the Vela Supernova Remnant, located near the Vela Pulsar in the constellation Vela. The nebula's linear appearance triggered its popular name. It resides about 815 light-years away from the Solar System. It is thought to be formed from part of the shock wave of the larger Vela Supernova Remnant.
Used data from 4 one clicks for the SHO-image, 3 one clicks for the RGB-picture.
