Description

The large and relatively faint filamentary shell to the right of Sh2-284 is designated G213.0-06.  It has been classified as a supernova remnant (SNR), but this has been recently brought into question by X.T.Gao et al (Nov 2023) who suggest that is more likely an Hii region located in the Perseus Arm.
