Description

Found a rather offbeat target that was fun to capture. Sharpless 171 is of course a nebula, and a rather large one. NGC 7762 is an open cluster near the bottom center, while King 11 is above it and to the right. The photos below represent about 1/6 of the total size of SH2-171!
The nebula is also known as the cosmic question mark.
