Description

Much HII emission is in this wide field just below the Bubble.  Sh2-160 is the top portion of the considerably larger diffuse region to the right.  The more dominant Cave Nebula is in the lower left.  This is an HOO image with Sulfur added as white.  There are a mere 8 H-alpha, 5 Oxygen III, and 5 Sulfur II exposures in this narrowband rendering.
