Description

Sharpless 2-132 is a very faint emission nebula on the Cepheus/Lacerta border.  It lies at a degree southeast of Epsilon Cep, and has a size of about 40 arc minutes.  

It is estimated to be about 10,000 to 12,000 light years away but the exact distance is still unknown.

Beside some star cluster are there 3 Planetary nebula on the picture.

PK 103+00.1 called Minkowski 2-51
PK 102+02.1 called Abell 79
Pk 103+00.2  for this I was not able to find any information
