Sh2-132 - Lion in Cepheus

[Adreneline]

Two clear nights (!!!) and 7+ hours of data using the RedCat 51 with ASI183MM-Pro; calibrated, register and integrated in APP and processed in PI using the Xterminators plus a bunch of other PI processes.

Annotated:

Thank you for looking.

I like the colours Adrian! Can you tell us a little more about the filters used? Is this SHO?

Thank you. Glad you like the colours - I tend to prefer the dark, dusty and slightly menacing look 🤣.

I used the Astronomik 1.25" 6nm SHO filters.

Yes, it is SHO but I remove all traces of magenta and all but 5% of the green cast - personal preference.

Thank you Peter. As per my response to @Peds I prefer a more subdued approach to my images.

I tend to think space is dark, dusty and not very friendly with odd pockets of colour so I like that to come across in my images.

Glad you like it.

Thank you Phil - I am pleased with the way it turned out. Cepheus has a wealth of treasures to image at this time of year - when the clouds clear - and the RedCat and ASI183 provide that bit of extra "reach". I am thinking Sh2-142 will be next on the list.🤞

Cheers.
