I fancied trying something a bit different, so last night targeted this patch of emission nebulosity that is often overlooked due to its proximity to the Elephant's Trunk and Wizard nebulae.
It took me a while to work out it's designation, eventually discovering that it's called Sharpless 132, but I think it looks rather like a Lion (do you agree?) so I'll call it the Lion nebula
Parts of the nebula are very faint, so perhaps a bit ambitious for a DSLR.
18x600s (3hrs) + darks & flats
SW150PDS
Canon 450d + Baader Ha filter
Vixen GP + Finderguider + SPC900
All critical comments are, as always, very welcome.
Here's a close-up:
PS:Anyone know if the Sharpless catalogue can be added to Stellarium?
