A super-widefield view of the nebulosity associated with the huge supernova remnant in the southern constellation of Vela, North is at the top in this frame which is a 2x2 mosaic where each pane of the mosaic was captured with a William Optics Redcat51 scope and a ZWO ASI2600MC camera. I built 2 versions of the mosaic, the first taken with just the built-in UV/IR filter and the second shot with an Optolong L-eXtreme filter. The final result is a blend of these two. All post-processing was carried out in PixInsight.

More formally known as IC 63, the Ghost nebula is a giant cloud of hydrogen gas and interstellar dust near the blue supergiant star gamma Cassiopeia - the middle star of the distinctive W asterism of the constellation. The intense radiation from gamma Cas is exciting the hydrogen gas, prompting the emission of red hydrogen alpha light, and is reflected as blue light from the dust.
This image is an integration of data shot with hydrogen alpha, red, green and blue filters with over 13 hours of Ha data and 4+ hours in each of R, G and B. The data was captured with a QHY163M CMOS camera and a William Optics FLT110 telescope. All processing of the data was carried out in PixInsight.
Observed from Prachinburi, Thailand.
