Description

A wide field in the Vela supernova remnants reveals a visible combination of filaments, including NGC2736 and the HII clouds. It looks as if the pencil was seeking to reach the HII clouds on a southwest trajectory. I am getting some vertical artifacts in the background that seem to occur after applying the background extraction routine in Siril. I am not sure what is causing them, but any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated.
