Description

SH2-132 
Ha Oiii Oiii
RGB

SH2-132 is a faint emission nebula that is approximately 10,000 light-years away from Earth. 
Also known as The Lion Nebula, SH2-132  is a concentrated HII region with star clusters, emission nebulae, and dark dust regions.
The Nebula is located in the southern portion of the constellation Cepheus.

Ground-up re-edit of the Lion Nebula as I was never 100% happy with my previous 2 attempts...
Frustrating as I have well over 40 hours of decent data on this target, way more than any other in my portfolio...
I have carefully selected the best frames I've collected over the past 18 months or so and used new software within Pixinsight, previously unused on this data set...
Big shout out (once again) to Russell Crowman...
Happy with the Lion, at last!

Clear Skies!!!
Olly
