Sharpless 2-132, Cepheus | |||
« Previous | Back to Astrophotography Gallery | Next » | |
This is my first image with a new camera, a Starlight Xpress SX-46 using a monochrome 16200 sensor. This nebula on the outskirts of the constellation Cepheus is sometimes called the Lion Nebula. Shot with narrowband filters and processed using a modified Hubble palette, the nebula seems to be rich in both Halpha and OIII, but quite faint in SII. There is a fascinating "beam" of light shining upward nearly in the center of this composition (in blue). | |||
