Description

Not an HA Sharpless object. Very dusty area.

I did check and there is HA in the Red, but the dust makes for a poor HA alone image.

For the record, here are the main sources of Sh2 information aside from The Sky X (TSX):

http://galaxymap.org/cat/list/sharpless/221

http://www.sharplesscatalog.com/sharpless.aspx

I'll try to put these links in other posts as they arise. To reiterate, TSX has the sizes of the objects.
