OED1

Constellation: Vela

OED1 is a rapidly expanding bubble (potential planetary nebula?) East of the Vela SNR region C [1,2] in the constellation of Vela. This is a project in progress as I am collected more data to get a deeper view into this object.  Link to interactive sky chart.

Reverse images of Ha, [S II] and [O III] emission lines. Note that the bubble to the East has no signal in [S II], and hence it may well be a planetary nebula. The bright central object is the region C of the Vela SNR, one of the extended features outside the boundary of the remnant (“bullets”), and displays a strong [S II] signal.
