About Sh 2-232:  from http://galaxymap.org/cat/view/sharpless/232
This peculiar belted nebula is ionised by two giant stars: the O9.5 III HD 37737 and an anonymous B0 II class star according to Avedisova.
Sh 2-231 to Sh 2-235 form a complex of HII regions located together in the Perseus arm in the outer galaxy. This complex may be associated with an old (330 thousand years) supernova remnant, FVW 172.8+1.5. There is a giant molecular cloud, G174+2.5, containing Sh 2-231, Sh 2-232, Sh 2-233, and Sh 2-235 that is at a distance of about 1800 pc.
