Sh2-132 - Lion Nebula - The final version with stars!

After sharing the starless version, I processed the stars using VeraLux Star Composer, recommended by my friend @deepsky.traveller.

I initially tried it in PixInsight, but the real-time preview was difficult to work with, and the same settings produced completely different results. Exporting the starless and stars images as FITS and switching to Siril turned out to be a much better experience, with smooth performance and fine control over the final result.

Swipe to see the wide field.

• Filter: Optolong L-eXtreme

We had 3 clear(ish) nights in a row in the Netherlands! Also the nights start to become longer so I could gather quiet some data during these nights. I decided to go for the eastern veil nebula. I love the veil nebula and this part of it fits my FOV exactly 😎✌️

Collected 18 hours of data over 3 nights. It's the first time I captured the feinter outer Ha glow, so I'm happy that worked, but I think I can still get more detail out of that part. That's for next time 😅
