Vela Super Nova remnant piece

This small part of the Vela Supernova remnant is quite the sight. You could spend years imaging this remnant at this focal length. Check out the image from Dark Energy Camera Below these 2 images, its quite amazing.

Data: Martin Pugh

Riccardi Honders- 9.5hrs Ha, 10.5hrs SII, 5.5 hours OIII and 30 minutes per RGB filter for stars.

Enjoy, Mark

The Image Below was taken by Astronomers using the powerful Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the Víctor M. Blanco 4-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab, have constructed a massive 1.3-gigapixel image of the Vela supernova remnant, a remnant of a massive star that exploded nearly 11,000 years ago in the constellation of Vela.

You really need to check out the full version of this its astonishing.
