The Pencil Nebula, NGC 2736, aka Herschel's Ray, the brightest segment of the Vela Supernova Remnant in Vela. This is a stack of 6 x 12 minute exposures with the filter-modified Canon 5D MkII camera at ISO 800 and Astro-Physics Traveler 105mm apo refractor at f/5.8. Taken from Timor Cottage, Coonabarabran, Australia, Dec 11, 2012.
NGC 3132, the Eight-Burst Nebula, a planetary nebula in Vela. This is sometimes called the Southern Ring Nebula. It lies on the Vela-Antlia border. Captured remotely using the T33 Ritchey-Chretien f/9 telescope at iTelescope Siding Spring Observatory on May 22, 2019. The waning gibbous Moon was rising and lightening the sky for most exposures. This is an LRGB stack of 4 x 3-minute exposures for each channel, with the Apogee CCD camera, stacked and integrated with PixInsight, but merged into an LRGB image and processed using Photoshop.
