Sharpless 2-132

I came across this object a few nights ago whilst scanning around in the planetarium. Checking on the web, its been reasonably frequently imaged, but still presents what I consider to be a nice challenge and a pleasing object to boot I thought I'd have a go...

This object is located in Cepheus and is associated with 2 Wolf-Rayet stars. My version is about 1/3 of the whole area of nebulousity, so its a good candidate for a mosaic follow-up!

Due to cloud conditions recently, it took me a while to build up enough data to have something worth posting (well, I hope it is anyway!) - This is a Ha as Luminance shot, with RGB through normal filters.

Anyway, would love to know what you think! I've put a clicky for the big version on my website if you fancy a slightly closer look.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,

Richie

I like that Richie, there's some great Ha wispiness in there along with so dark nebulosity. The RGB has worked well to keep the star colour. All together a very attractive image

This is excellent, Richie, some lovely filamentary wisps, good detail and subtle colours.
