Lion Nebula, Sh2-132 in Cepheus
26 x 4-minute ISO 1600 auto-guided exposures.
Modified EOS 600D & Revelation 12" f/4 Newtonian reflector telescope.
Frames stacked in Deep Sky Stacker software. Result post-processed to increase contrast, reduce noise, adjust overall colour balance and reduce colour gradients caused by light pollution. I also used Starnet++ to temporarily remove the stars during processing (as otherwise they dominate after stretching the contrast).
