IC 132 is a HII Ionized region in the Triangulum constellation. IC 132 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 14.82, IC 132 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 20 inches (500mm) or more.

The image below is a photograph of IC 132 from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2 - see the credits section) taken in the red channel. The area of sky represented in the image is 0.5000x0.5000 degrees (30.00x30.00 arcmins).
