Description

THE LION⁣

⁣Also known as Sharpless 2-132, this faint emission nebula is estimated to be around 10,000 light years away and is located on the border of constellations Cepheus and Lacerta.⁣

We are stardust.⁣

I worked the SHO palette to show this lion off with its glorious mane of yellow, orange and red. The blues really give it that additional pop! Blended in true colour RGB stars for good measure. ⁣

This is my longest exposure time of any image to date. I hope you like it! ⁣
