Here is a region in Vela not commonly imaged. It contains some interesting nebulae. I put a mouse over map of the nebulae. It may take a minute to load.

I don't know why that would be, it certainly is an interesting area.
You've rendered it admirably, Tom.

Great work Tom! the color and detail are superb !great target choice of a very faint area....well worth the 9.3 hours of exposure and many hours of excellent processing! Top Shelf!

Excellent shot, Tom! The big faint nebula reminds me a bit of Cederblad 214.
