Description

The Lion Nebula is a faint emission nebula located in Cepheus at a distance of approximately 10,000 light years. Two very hot & massive Wolf-Rayet stars, HD211564 &  HD211853, are largely responsible for ionizing its gases. It's been a less than ideal winter for imaging in the Upper Midwest, albeit relatively mild, with clear nites few and far between. Was only able to capture roughly 6 hrs of data although some detail was brought out with an L-Ultimate NB filter. Processed using the NB normalization SHO algorithm in PI.
