Description

The large Sh2-232 and smaller but brighter Sh2-235 are predominantly Ha emission nebula regions in the constellations of Auriga at around 5900 light years distance. Sh2-235 also has a reasonably strong Oiii component, and a bit shows up in the band of Sh2-232.  A planetary nebula is also visible; PN G173.5+03.2 shows as the blue dot near the centre of Sh2-232.
