[APML] The Vela SNR from 33N...

["Chris & Jennifer Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

Could it be possible?  I didn't think so, but then I began investigating the
mysterious red glow in the lower left corner of my 15mm winter Milky Way
image.  After confirming it with The Sky program and verifying it with Axel
Mellinger's all sky panorama and a image by John Gleason from Australia, I
found out that it is the northern part of the Vela SNR!  Who would've
thought.

Here's my image:  http://www.abmedia.com/astro/current/wintermw-15mm.html
....with a labeled image for your reference.

It was a good thing there was zero LP pollution on that part of the horizon
because it would've surely been lost if there was.


Axel's all sky panorama I confirmed it with is here:

Enjoy!
