Here is my latest image through my TEC180FL and a FLI Proline 16803 in Astrodon 5nm narrowband
filters.

Part of a vast area of gas and colour in the Vela Supernova Remnant in the Southern Hemisphere.
Taken in remote NSW Australia. Good seeing.

Very nice. The color balance looks a little different than the "standard" palette (?), but very pleasing. Maybe I always expect more H-alpha?
