Description

As a companion project to my recent close-up detail of the Lion's "mane", that was shot with a 9.25" SCT, I created this detailed 2-panel mosaic view to encapsulate more of this exciting HII region. There really isn't a lot of information online regarding the inner workings of this nebula, aside from its size, distance and the fact that it's home to two Wolf-Rayet stars.

This project comprises a combined 34h45' of SHO+RGB data, shot with a 132mm refractor and 2600MM camera_3nm Chroma filters.

All data captured from my Bortle 8 backyard.
Thank you!
