This is my final images on this object, I tried to bring details and colors visible in social media. I think now it resembles a clown face

Sh2-132 - The Lion Nebula in HOO
When I first started to process this project I noticed that there was a lot of interesting structure just out of frame that I really wanted to include. So I spent several more nights imaging a second panel that would allow me to create a mosaic, my first! For being a mostly unplanned mosaic I'm very pleased with the result.

Showing the 12 most recent of 12 posts we hold for @astronomy_pictures. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
