This object is a new one on me which I only heard about this year and is a tough little bugger. I took this around the same time as the Pelican. The sky’s were of average clarity but as this object was high up it didn’t have a big affect on the image. There is a tiny planetary nebula G101.5-00.6 bottom right just above the signature.
FYI To me it looks less like a Lion but more like a T-Rex head on a small dogs body...😁
OBJECT DESCRIPTIONS:-
SH2-132 The Lion Nebula is a an emission (Ha rich area) in the southern most part of the constellation Cepheus and is located approximately 10,000 light years away. The ionisation of the gas in this region is the responsibility of some massive stars, typically Wolf Rayet type. These have a white/blue colourisation and at least 20 times the mass of our own sun. The apparent is 90’ x 90’.

Another Google Gemini AI colourisation, here is London Country RT2722 of Windsor garage, sitting outside the station before leaving for home on 18 May 1975.
The irony here is that I also took a colour slide of this, and other buses, but the film in an old TLR failed to wind on, and I lost them all.

Bourtange is a village with a population of 430 in the municipality of Westerwolde in the Netherlands. It is situated in the region Westerwolde in the east of the province of Groningen near the German border. Fort Bourtange was built in 1593 during the Dutch Revolt and was used until 1851. Between 1967 and 1992 the star fort was gradually restored to its mid-18th-century state and it is currently an open-air museum
The name Bourtange comes from the Dutch word tange (sand ridge), because the settlement is situated on a strategically important sand ridge in the marshes of the Bourtange Moor.
Fort Bourtange was initially built during the Eighty Years' War (circa 1568–1648) when William I of Orange wanted to control the main road between Germany and the city of Groningen which was controlled by the Spanish. This road followed a sandy ridge (tange) through the marshes (the Bourtange Swamp).
Later, around 1594, Bourtange became part of the fortifications on the border between the northern provinces (Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe) and Germany.
Bourtange was a separate municipality until 1822, when it was merged with Vlagtwedde.
In 1851 the star fort was given up and Bourtange became a normal village.
Around 1960 living conditions in the village deteriorated and it was decided that Bourtange would be rebuilt to its state of 1740-1750. Today it is an open-air museum. [Wikipedia]
