Vela Supernova Remnant (H Alpha +RGB)

This image shows some of the colorful stars of the southern constellation of Vela, and also a part of the Vela supernova remnant, a expanding debris cloud that was formed by the explosion of a massive star that happened 11000 years ago. At the moment of the explosion, the core of the star collapsed, forming a pulsar, while the outermost layers were ejected into the interstellar medium, producing the filaments that can be seen in this image.

This image was made adding the information captured from my backyard, using a H-Alpha Narrowband filter, to the data captured using the Red, Green and Blue Filters, from a dark site. My goal was to enhance the detail in the filaments, and also capture the colors of the stars that are present in the image.

Unfortunately, i am having some tracking issues with my mount, so i probably will need help from the local experts, to disassemble and clean my mount. I hope to capture this image again, once i solve this issues, to compare the results.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
