Description

Just the Lion Nebula, nothing fancy done here, comes out colorful and vibrant in SHO.  It's not as bright as some of the other summer nebulae but it's strong enough in Ha and O.  The S  is much weaker but makes a big difference to just HOO in detail and contrast enhancement.


All in all I am surprised not to see more of these Lions out there, can't go wrong with this target!
