Description

The Lion Nebula (Sh2-132) in Cepheus.

This is a fantastic astrophotography target for telescopes in the 500mm range, especially when captured using narrowband filters.

This target is my first light with the William Optics GT81 WIFD apochromatic refractor.

I spent a LONG time processing this one, trying to find the right balance between overall image quality and dynamic colors/and overall presentation.

As usual, the process helped me become a more well-rounded astrophotographer by learning a few new processing tricks along the way

Thanks for looking!
