Description

Sh2-73 is located in the constellation Hercules and was mistakenly included in the Sharpless catalog as an emission nebula. The nebula is simply a molecular cloud with a relatively high galactic latitude, about 45°. The integrated light of the galaxy illuminates the nebula. Therefore, we can refer to Sh2-73 as an integrated flux nebula, as defined by Steve Mandel.
