NGC 2736 (Pencil nebula)
From time to time I obtain data sets from remote observatories. One of my favorite providers is the Insight Observatory with telescopes in e.g. Chile, Namibia, New Mexico etc. 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:
| Location | Rio Hurtado Valley, Chile |
| Telescope | Quasar 12.5″ f/9 Ritchey-Chretien |
| Focal length [mm] | 2857 |
| Focal ratio | 9 |
| Mount | Losmandy Titan |
| Camera | SBIG STL11000 |
| Filter | (Hα+[NII]):[OIII]:R:G:B |
| Exposure time [min] | 390:380:170:170:180 |
| Resolution | 0.65″/px |
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:
