Description

Captured in this astrophoto is the SH2-132, or the Lion Nebula, a sprawling emission nebula nestled within the constellation of Cepheus. The Lion Nebula is located approximately 10,000 light-years away from Earth, nestled within the outer arm of our Milky Way galaxy. The Lion Nebula's vivid appearance is a result of the intense radiation emanating from young, hot stars within its confines. I am using HSO as my color palette, which could show better separation of different areas than bubble palettes. Color-calibrated stars were captured using RGB filters.
