Description

Sh2-130 lies in the western area of Cephus and is on the smaller size in the catalog. The larger nebula to the lower left area does not seem to have a catalog number but offers wide field systems something to add to the image. For a larger telescope, SH2-130 itself seems to have some interesting detail and structure. However, this one is not bright so some exposure time is needed. There is a very weak reflection nebula around the entire nebula but is barely visible in this image. The nebula responds quite well to the hydrogen alpha filter.
