Description

An assortment of emission nebulae in Vela. Gum 15 takes center stage in this Hubble palette narrowband image of a busy field in the constellation Vela, the sail. Gum 14 is lower left and Gum 17 is at the opposite corner. Ionized OIII filaments from the huge Vela Supernova Remnant creep down from the top of the frame.The integration for this image includes 3.75 hours each for Ha, OIII, and SII. The data was acquired a few days ago with a PlaneWave DeltaRho 350 telescope and ASI 461MM Pro camera. I opted for a straightforward Hubble SHO mapping here, and I think it works well. My favorite thing here is the contrast in color and form between the Gum emission nebulae and the supernova remnant.
