This is a very faint planetary nebula in Vela, discovered by James Wray in 1966. It's a little over 2 arc minutes in diameter and, at mag 15, it is very faint.

Exposure was relatively short at 4.8 hours.

Processing was relatively straightforward--
  • ABE for luminance
  • ChannelCombination and PCC (for colour image)
  • ABE for colour
  • TVG and MMT denoise for both colour and luminance
  • Histogram stretch
  • LRGB combine
  • Minor adjustments with Curves and HistogramTransformation
  • Crop.
