Description

When I first started astrophotography, I saw someone post a shot of this amazing object and it instantly became one of my favorites. The Vela Supernova Remnant is one of the closest supernovas to us at only about 900 light years. Unfortunately, I found out that you could only image this target from the southern hemisphere. I had a chance to rent an imaging rig in Australia and was finally able to image this great target. 

So far, this is the most time I have spent collecting data for a target with over 43 hours worth of integration time.

I shot this as a 4 panel mosaic on a FSQ106N with a KAF-8300 sensor.
