Sh2-132
About image
Sh2-132 is the well-known Lion Nebula in Cepheus constellation.
Here in this image I focused on the Lion "Head", a zone with strong Ha emission and several dark dust lanes, but also some OIII emission in overlap.
Going to the right toward the Lion body, the emission turn dramatically into OIII.
