Another image from SRO in California. I have a backlog of data from last summer and autumn before the weather turned to crap like spring/summer in Brisbane
Sharpless 2-132 is an emission nebula on the border of Cepheus and Lacerta. It's not that bright and exciting but I did what I could with it. This is a roughly Hubble palette image. I didn't have any RGB data so I mangled the Hubble data to provide some vaguely pleasing star colours - better than white anyway.
Details are..
Scope: FSQ-106ED
Mount: Paramount ME
Camera: QSI683
Filters: Astrodon 5nm Ha, OII, SII
Guiding: QSI OAG + Lodestar
Image scale: 2.094 arcsec/pixel
Exposures: 27x1800s Ha, 12x1800s OIII, 19x1800s SII (17 hrs)
Processing: PixInsight 1.8
Hope you enjoy the image and I'm always interested in suggestions for improvement.
