Description

The Great Pumpkin, SH2-232, is the largest, yet faintest of a large group of diffuse nebulae in the constellation of Auriga which includes these famous nebulae: Flaming Star, The Tadpoles and Spider and Fly Nebulae. This one is processed using an HSS palette which assigns Hydrogen Alpha to Red and Sulphur II to both Green and Blue channels. Also seen here is SH2-235 which is the bright one to the left and SH2-231 below that and tiny SH2-233 below that.
