My first mosaic.

Vela Supernova Remnant - a beautiful southern object 20 times the width of the full moon but dim.

S11 Ha O111 image, 2 panels about 8 hours of exposure.

Tak FSQ106N, STL11 camera, Baader 7nm filters.

I intend to image the whole nebula and it may be the only one of it in existence as I can't find any examples of it except an old Anglo Australian image that is very widefield.

Greg.
