Once upon a time, 11 thousand years ago, a star that lies 800 light years away from us at the constellation of Vela (the sail), exploded as a type II Supernova.Our prehistoric ancestors must have been mesmerised by its brightness at that point. Since then, its exploded layers kept spreading in the sky like fireworks, as a constant reminiscence of the event. While searching for targets at the southern skies that we enjoy this time of the year, I saw Vela's bright patch of the Milky Way and I recalled the Supernova Remnant. A fantastic wide-angle target, ideal to my deep-sky setting. The northern part of it was a true test. After seeing the results, I took the central part, 2 weeks later. So this is a mosaic of 2 images, that will hopefully become six before Vela sets for this year. However, since most of the Remnant is already in, I thought of sharing. The rest of the mosaic will include the massive Gum12 Nebula due South and East. Two images stitched with PtGui. Both taken with my Radian61 and Canon Ra on an Ioptron Sky-Guider Pro. Guiding: MGEN3 with a 130mm Lacerta guide cam and guide scope.Framing: Manual. Filters: Optolong L-extreme 2".9 lights, 15 flats/bias/darks. 600sec, iso6400. Post-work on LrC, Ps, DSS, Starnet++ and Ps again.

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.
