Description

I am a bit puzzled by how rarely this Sharpless object is imaged, so I thought it would be worthwhile posting this crop from my wider field image also containing its neighbours Sh2-226 and 228 (https://www.astrobin.com/7xivrw/D/). The red  oblong object near the image edge up to the right is the planetary nebula G167.9+00.9, which is also rarely, if ever imaged.
