I have two objects for review this month. Both are not imaged that often and are located in Cepheus.

First is SH2-132 The Lion Nebula

Second is SH2-140 which does not seem to have a common name, but I will call it Rose Bud Nebula for now.

Both these objects were captured over two night each and a subs totaled 33 x 8 minutes for each RGB filter.

I have been trying to capture some less visited nebula lately and I really liked both of these. Hope you enjoy them. grin

I like SH2-140 the best. It has some nice reflection nebulosity as well.

Thanks for looking. smile Glad you liked them.
SH2-140 is pretty cool, the reflection nebula on each side makes a good frame.
SH2-132 is more faint, but the Lion is also very obvious and that makes it interesting. It was also a pure Ha target, the color is very much Ha. This is not that usual for RGB images.
