Description

I had several nice nights to image SH2-132, so I took NB with the NP127is / ASI6200MM and added RGB stars taken with the TV-85 / QHY268M. It's 173 NB images @300s and 90 RGB images @180s for RGB stars. I did an HOO and Foraxx palette of the NB data, blended them, and added RGB stars.
SH2-132, located at the boundary of the constellations Cepheus & Lacerta at a distance of 10,000-12,000 light-years. It is a very faint emission nebula with some nice colors.
Anyway, hope ya like it!
Tom
