Description

Sharpless 2-200 is an ancient planetary nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was first discovered in 1959 by Stewart Sharpless, but wasn't officially confirmed as a planetary nebula until 2017.

This object is quite faint, and I thought it was a real challenge to process. Most of the subs were taken with below average seeing at a relatively low elevation, which probably impacted the amount of detail I captured. One day I hope to come back to this one with better overall conditions.
