Wow! It's funny I had just recently come across for the first time a few weeks some of these Gum Nebula. There are several of them aren't they? So it's really cool that you have captured it while the name Gum was still fresh on my mind. Love the way everything balances in this. The Gum in the middle and a couple of Nebula's in opposite corners. What do the call the nebulosity in the lower right corner? What type is it?

Cheers Jim ! Yes there are a few Gums around 84 I believe. The lower right is a section of the vast Vela Supernova Remnant, my previous image post was centred
around the middle area

Beautiful image. How did the name Gum come into the narrative for space?

Thanks Alan ! The Gum catalogue was made by an Australian astronomer Colin Gum. More info here:

Loving these wide views with that 61mm refractor and 0.8x reducer - this is another gem for sure!

Nicely done. Funny that I thought the name came from a blob of chewed gum
