Caught the lions private parts with the RASA 8

[gorann]

For reasons unknown to me I have had a few clear nights now with the moon up and about, so I am shooting Ha with the RASA 8 and not getting much sleep. Have done the Tulip and the Propeller nebulae (HaRGB just posted) so last night I aimed at the Lion nebula Sh2-132. Here is 54 x 5 min of exposures at gain 139 with ASI1600MMpro and a Baader fast Ha filter. Looks quite intimate.....

Impressive!  This is a faint one!  Can’t stop looking now though 😳

Thanks Adam! Stop blushing, I don't think it is Eve you are looking at😉

Thanks a lot Mark. Yes, I've Oiii on order from FLO since July but Baader is still working on the next batch of fast Oiii filters. Everything seem to be in short supply right now.....
