NGC 3132, the Eight-Burst Nebula, a planetary nebula in Vela. This is sometimes called the Southern Ring Nebula. It lies on the Vela-Antlia border.

Captured remotely using the T33 Ritchey-Chretien f/9 telescope at iTelescope Siding Spring Observatory on May 22, 2019. The waning gibbous Moon was rising and lightening the sky for most exposures.

This is an LRGB stack of 4 x 3-minute exposures for each channel, with the Apogee CCD camera, stacked and integrated with PixInsight, but merged into an LRGB image and processed using Photoshop. This has then been processed to look more like a monochrome, low-contrast eyepiece view.
