Vela Supernova Remnant

The Vela Supernova Remnant is made up of many complex tendrils of energised gas and covers an
area of sky 8 degrees wide in the southern constellation of Vela. It was formed by a star 900
light years away, that exploded about 12,000 years ago. The above image is a wavelength ordered,
emission line image, taken using H-alpha, Oxygen3 and Sulphur2 narrow band filters and frames
about a quarter of the huge ancient feature.

OMG it looks too bright! Next time go for something really faint that'll require 52 hours exposure! :-)
