Description

This image was captured in a two days campaign, during 2015 April, in Atacama Desert, Chile.

Gum 15 is a nebula from the Gum catalog, located in the constellation of Vela, about 3,000 light-years from Earth. It is shaped by aggressive winds flowing from the stars within and around it. The bright star in the center of the nebula is HD 74804, a double star.

This was captured for me using Baader L, R, G and B filters and processed using the Pixinsight.
