Description

The Vela Supernova Remnant is a fascinating region, from supernova explosion around 11 to 12,000 years ago. The area has many interesting features such as NGC 2736. This image highlights the region around NGC 2659 an open star cluster.
The details on this region are just incredible, I tried hard to get the most out of it and keep the color saturation low to highlight the details.
Stars are in RGB.

Imaged in RGB with H alpha and OIII on the Planewave Delta Rho 350 at Observatorio El Sauce, Chile.
