Description

First run at the Lion Nebula, Sh2-132 in SHO. 

Was inspired for some time to do this by the cover of The Astrophotography Sky Atlas by Charles Bracken. 

Will try some other color combinations later, since this data is pretty good. This first one (traditional -green in SCNR) presents the lion silhouette really nicely. 

~12 hrs total integration

Description: Fighting contrast mismatch between Astrobin and Lightroom, despite color calibration and attention to colorspace. Blew out the Lion's head in original upload. Try this adjustment.
