Sh2-132 in Hubble Palette 2022January 2022 Jan 6 Written By Jason Matter Image Description and Details : Sh2-132 is one of the 312 bright emission nebulae catalogued by Stewart Sharpless. This large area of emission nebula in the constellation Cepheus glows from the characteristic red light of ionized hydrogen. Sh2-132 is about 1,200 light years away. Dark patches within it are due to soot blocking out the light. There are also some prominent dark nebulae blocking out the light of the stars behind them outside the main area of Sh2-132. Acquisition, focusing, and control of Paramount MX mount with N.I.N.A., TheSkyX and PHD2. Focus with Optec DirectSync motors and controller. Equipment control with PrimaLuce Labs Eagle 4 Pro computer. All pre-processing and processing in PixInsight. Acquired from my SkyShed in Guelph. Average transparency and seeing.
