____________________________________________
Sharpless 2-132 is a very faint emission type nebula on the Cepheus/Lacerta border. It's easy to locate because of its proximity to the distinctive triangle of stars formed by delta, epsilon and zeta Cephei From northwest to southeast, zeta, epsilon and Sh2-132 form an almost straight line.
