SH 2-132 The Lion Nebulae

[astro mick]

Hi.

Found this lurking on the borders of Cepheus and Lacerta.

Imaged with my ED 80 and a Canon modded 1000D.

This is 36x300 secs of total imaging time,although the image was quite faint in the camera.Sensor temp was between 18-23c.

It is nicknamed the Lion,my image does,nt really show it well,but googled images are better.

Calibrated with Bias and Darks.

Cheers.

Mick.

It’s a faint one Mick, good effort! I tried it with a similar camera (40d, same sensor as 1000d) an ED80, and 15 minute exposures just about showed some detail.

Thats a lot better than mine.

Could be worth revisiting it with an H-Alpha filter if you have one?
