      Description

      Object description (www.sharplesscatalog.com):

      This small Sharpless object sits high in the northern fall sky north of SH2-171 which is a common object imaged and south of Abell 85, a supernova remnant. The object responds to mostly red filters so a red luminance can be easily used on this one to produce a nice RRGB. It also does very well with a hydrogen-alpha filter and exposing the camera for a very long time begins to pick up a fainter area around it. It also responds very nice with the sulfur II and oxygen III filters so this one makes for a great narrowband color image.. There is also some fine structure in the object that a larger telescope can capture and produce an amazing image of this object, which is not a common image out there these days.
