Description

SH2-132, also known as The Lion Nebula, is a rich HII region with star clusters, emission nebulae, and dark dust regions. Located in the southern portion of the constellation Cepheus, the Lion Nebula is roughly 10,00 light-years away in the Perseus Arm of the MilkyWay Galaxy.This was a first light image for my ASI2600MC that I mated to my travel rig (Redcat 51, AZ-GTI, ASIAirpro).  Taken over several nights in late July from my kitchen deck using an L-Extreme filter.  I'm fairly happy with the result and even noticed a small planetary nebula I was unacquainted with above the nebula.
