  We present the detection and imaging of the spatially resolved shell of nova
V382 Vel with SOAR adaptive optics module (SAM). The shell was observed in
narrow band filters H$\alpha$ and [O III] 5007\AA, revealing different
structures in each filter. The shell's angular diameter obtained was $9.9$
arcsec, equivalent to $2.8 \times 10^{17}$ cm, using the distance of $1.79$ kpc
obtained by Gaia mission. The upper limit for total shell mass derived from
recombination lines is $M_{s} = 1.4 \times 10^{-4}$ M$_{\odot}$. Our
photoionization models indicate an accretion disk with $T_d=60,000$ K and
L=$10^{36}$ erg/s as main ionizing source.
