NGC 2736 – Pencil nebula Widefield
From time to time I obtain data sets from remote observatories. One of my favorite providers is Telescope Live with telescopes in e.g. Chile, Australia and Spain. One of the data sets I received, was data from the nebula NGC 2736, which is a small part of the Vela supernova remnant and is located in the constellation Vela.
The images were taken with the following equipment (AUS-2 CCD, Telescope Live):
| Location | Heavens’s mirror observatory, Australia |
| Telescope | Takahashi FSQ-106ED |
| Focal length [mm] | 390 |
| Focal ratio | 3.6 |
| Mount | Paramount MX+ |
| Camera | FLI Proline 16803 |
| Filter | Hα:[OIII] |
| Exposure time [min] | 480:480 |
| Resolution | 3.6″/px |
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:
