The extensive Gum Nebula area in Vela, an interstellar bubble blown by winds from hot stars, with the False Cross at left. This is a stack of 4 x 5 minute exposures at f/3.2 with the Sigma 50mm lens and filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800. Taken from Coonabarabran, Australia, December 2012. High cloud added natural glows around stars. Star clusters NGC 2516 (below False Cross) and IC 2391 (right of false Cross) stand out. Superhot star Gamma Velorum is at centre.

The asterism of the False Cross in Vela and Carina, at left, with Gamma Velorum, a bright blue supergiant star, at right. In between are faint arcs of nebulosity in the Gum Nebula. To the left of Gamma Velorum is the open star clister NGC 2547. Below the bottom star of the False Cross, Epsilon Carinae or Avior, is the large naked-eye star cluster NGC 2516. To the right of the right star of the False Cross, Delta Velorum, is the loose open cluster IC 2391.

Gum Nebula area of Vela and Puppis. Taken from Atacama Lodge, Chile, March 19, 2010, with modified Canon 5D MkII and Sigma 50mm lens at f/4, for stack of 10 x 6 minute exposures (Mean combined) at ISO 800 plus 2 x 6 minutes with Kenko Softon filter. High contrast boost and Selective Colour adjustments to bring out nebulocity while retaining neutral sky.

This is the Omicron Velorum cluster in Vela, catalogued as IC 2391, a bright naked-eye star cluster, though rather sparse when viewed through a telescope even at low power.

This frames the southern Milky Way from Canis Major and its bright star Sirius at top, to Carina and its bright star Canopus at bottom. Sirius and Canopus are the first and second brightest stars in the night sky, respectively. The major feature here is the massive Gum Nebula, perhaps a remnant from a nearby (1500 light years away) but ancient supernova. Or it might be a more normal emission nebula created as part of star formation and stellar winds. Its 36º-wide extent sprawls across Puppis (just below Canis Major) and Vela (to the left of Canopus). It was discovered by Australian astronomer

This frames most of the intricate arcs and loops of the Vela Supernova Remnant (SNR), the remains of a star that exploded about 11,000 years ago. It is one of the closest SNRs to Earth, about 900 light years away. Most arcs and segments have no separate catalogue numbers, with the exception of the short straight Pencil Nebula, aka Herschel's Ray, in the lower left corner which is NGC 2736. It is the brightest segment of the Vela SNR visually in a telescope. The nebula complex is marked with lots of cyan arcs emitting oxygen III wavelengths, mixed with regions of red hydrogen-alpha emission.

This is a framing of the vast Gum Nebula in the southern Milky Way, that sprawls over the constellations of Vela and Puppis. It is listed as object #12 in the catalog of southern nebulas compiled in the 1950s by Australian astronomer Colin Gum. It is perhaps a supernova remnant (not to be confused with the smaller Vela Supernova Remnant that is within the Gum Nebula) or is a large and old H-Alpha star-forming region. It is nearby in the Milky Way, at about 1500 light years from us. Smaller components of it carry other catalogue numbers such as Gum 15 and Gum 17.

This is the large Vela Supernova Remnant – visible here as the mostly cyan wisps and strands of starstuff from a star that exploded about 11,000 years ago when it was about 900 light years away. It would have been a spectacular sight in our sky at that time.
