Vela SNR & Pencil Nebula: 2-panel mosaic
Vela SNR & Pencil Nebula: 2-panel mosaic
The Vela SNR is a supernova remnant in the southern constellation Vela, the sails.
Its source Type II supernova exploded approximately 11,000–12,300 years ago (and was about 800 light-years away).
On the right, and part of the Vela SNR, the Pencil Nebula (NGC 2736) can be recognized.
This 2-panel HOO-image is acquired with AUS-2 (Takahashi FSQ-106ED refractor).
Used older data from a Pro Dataset and 2 recent one-clicks
Total exposure 305 minutes.
Panel 1: 15 subs of 450s with H-alpha and OIII
Panel 2: 4 subs of 600s with H-alpha and OIII
