This is the roughly 10°-wide area area in Vela containing the fragmentary Vela Supernova Remnant (semicircular magenta-cyan arcs of nebulosity at lower area of field,) the Pencil Nebula (aka Herschel's Ray, or NGC 2736) at left of centre, and the large HII regions: Gum 17, 15 and 14 (left to right, with Gum 17 the most obvious just right of centre and above). Two brightest patches at lover left at Gum 25 (left) and RCW38 (right). The bright star at upper left is Suhail, Lambda Velorum.

This is a stack of 9 x 2 minute exposures at f/2.8 with 135mm Canon L-series lens and filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1250. Some light haze came over at the end of the sequence. Taken from Atacama Lodge, Chile, May 2011.
