The Lion Nebula, also known as Sh2-132, is a faint emission nebula in the constellation Cepheus. It is located at a distance of about 10.000 light-years from Earth.
This actually is my second try for this rarely shown target, the first one was pretty much invisible behind those beautiful auroras a few days ago. This time I managed to get a bit more data and I'm quite happy with the result. The Lion Nebula is a very faint object and it's not easy to capture it from my light-polluted backyard. A couple more hours of exposure time might reveal some more detail though.
I hope you like it!
