The Lion nebula

[VilleM]

Here is an image I shot of the Sh2-132, also know as The Lion Nebula. It is a faint emission nebula in the constellation of Cepheus.

This project was particularly challenging to process because the field of view has so many diffrent colours and brightness of the nebulosity also varies alot - not to mension the rich starfield that can be too prominent. After two days of tweaking I finally achieved the desired results. Also this is my longest project yet, with total integration time of ~31 hours in SHORGB palette in two panel mosaic.

C&C welcome, as always.
