The loose open star cluster IC 2395 in Vela near the Vela supernova remnant. The cluster is just left of centre. A small cluster just resolved here at centre is NGC 2660, while a sparser cluster left of IC 2395 is NGC 2670. The orientation is along the Milky Way here, so north is at right, not at top. This is a stack of five 2-minute exposures with the Canon L-series 135mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 7D at ISO 1250. The field simulates a binocular field of roughly 7°. Bits of the Vela SNR are visible at right. The field is laced with emission nebulosity, some of it cyan in colour.
