 Not at all. That's the T Rex nebula.

Actually the Lion is visible in this widefield image. The mane and the head is represented by the orange/red part , the legs are in the lower blue part and you can see the tail in the back.

I actually found the lion fairly obvious, but with enough exposure to reveal fainter structures it might become a bit more fuzzy. I mostly got the head and one of the feet with my setup though.

Another one: Where is the wizard in the Wizard nebula? I'm guessing he's inside the gas clouds and you can't see him. Maybe it was his own gas...

Like the lion they are both easy to see. The wizard has a pointed hat and you can see his two hands out in front.Wizzard.jpg

Ah yes, admittedly I struggled with that one to start with but once you've seen it you cant unsee it. 

Imagine a wizard side-on, with a pointy hat and his arms out in front of him as if he's about to hug someone. At least that's what I see 

There is also a conveniently placed star which looks like his eye.

Nah, can't see it. It resembles a kidney more than a wizard.

The Firefox nebula has a very close resemblance to the real thing Image of comparison

EDIT: I see the eye of the wizard now, still, he doesn't have legs. Or maybe his legs are so short they hide in his cloak?

I agree, this one also comes quite apparent when you first see it. A bit of a gotcha moment when I was processing my first shot at it.

That’s because he doesn’t have any
