Description

Last year, I imaged the Vela SNR with my Nikon 200 f/2 rig.   I was largely pleased with the result and was delighted to receive a significant number of likes from my AB friends, as well as an award in the NZ 2022 astrophotography competition.

There was only one thing I was not so happy about, and that was the framing of the image.  So this year I decided to revisit the Vela SNR with my Nikon and correct the mistake.

Turns out that you probably shouldn't go back and relive past successes, as the resultant image is fine - but I still prefer my first attempt.   

But my AB friends may be better judges, so I have posted nevertheless.   I have included two versions.  The Foraxx palette and my HSO palette.  Also perhaps less "accurate", I think I prefer (as before) the HSO palette as being a little more colourful and separates out the [SII] from the Ha a little better.

77 x 300s [OIII]
39 x 300s Ha
44 x 300s [SII]

Whatever the result, Vela remains a great object to image at a variety of focal lengths. I am fortunate indeed that it passes overhead here, and like the LMC it is the gift that keeps on giving.
