Lion Nebula
The Mane Attraction: the Lion Nebula During one of the star parties in the Swiss mountains, I pointed 2 of my telescopes to the constellation of Cepheus in order to capture the head region of the Lion Nebula.I kind of love this big cat nebula and next year I’ll try using a smaller telescope to capture his entire body
