Sh2-132 "Lion Nebula" in HST palette

Hi
I managed to shoot some SII and OIII data last night to finish this off although for part of the evening I was shooting through bonfire smoke and then high mist at the end of the night. Although conditions could have been much better I'm still pleased with the final result. This was taken with the Televue NP127/FLI astrograph on my Paramount ME with exposures times of 24x10 minutes Ha, 22x10 minutes OIII and 30x10 minutes SII. There is plenty of Ha and OIII but the SII is very weak.
Hope you like it

Oh, that is very appealing to the eye! beautiful colours, and the blue planetary nebula just to the right of the main one is a bonus

Great field of view and lovely colours Gordo, nice processing too

Can see the PN on the lower left but is that a blue PN to the right..? looks non descript almost like a glitch

Hi Mike
Thanks for the comments everyone, apparently the little blue ?planetary nebula on the right is catalogued as a possible PN, Bob Franke let me know about this on one of the other groups

Spectacular Gordon. The questionable object certainly looks like a planetary to me. Might be worth a shot at a longer focal length. Does it have a catalogue number?
