SH 2-132 The Lion Nebula. 10 Hours with the Seestar S50
Sh 2-132, the Lion Nebula is a great target at this time of year. This image has a total of 10 hours of integration time x 20s subs in EQ mode. The Lion Nebula is powered by two Wolf-Rayet stars which ionize the gas of the nebula and make it glow, raking it with intense interstellar winds. It's a little challenging to image and 10 hours is about the minimum needed to capture the finer details in the gas and dust that surround these stars.
