I've only captured hydrogen and sulfur so far, but haven't processed the sulfur yet.

Sh2-132, or the Lion Nebula, is a very faint emission nebula at the border of Cepheus and Lacerta. It's located one degree southeast of Epsilon Cephei and spans about 40 arcminutes. Estimated distance is between 10,000 and 12,000 light-years, though this is only approximate. It's also a well-studied region with a lot going on, as you can see in the image.
