Description

Sharpless 132 is a faint emission nebula at the Cepheus/Lacerta border, located 10,000 to 12,000 light-years away from Earth, and therefore placing itself inside the Perseus Arm of our galaxy.

It is also known as the Lion Nebula. I actually see two lions, one at peace and another roaring.

This is the third and last Sharpless target for now. Clear skies and stay safe!
