Description

Sharpless 170, with more data and color. Very tough object, I managed to gather around 20 hours integration with a full moon ! 

A very dim and faint nebula in Cassiopeia,  about 7500 light years away from Earth.

Also known as "Little Rosette" nebula. In the centre of the nebula is the small open cluster : Stock 18.

The nebula has about 2/3 of the diameter of the full moon
