Description

Sh2-232 sits in a neglected region of Auriga, not far from the commonly imaged IC410 and IC405. In order from left to right, they are Sh2-232, 235, 231, and 233. I think they look like a giant eyeball and two kidneys, so maybe that’s why they are rarely imaged. (It could also be that they are really faint!) The tiny planetary in the middle of Sh2-232 is PK173+03.1. Interestingly, I can’t find any designation for the huge round nebula at bottom-right.
