Description

The dominant (roughly center) nebula structure is a combination of objects (SH2-82, LBN 128, LBN 129, Cederblad 168). This nebula is a combination of Hydrogen Alpha emission and reflection. The emission is energized by the star HD 231616 (Mag 10.11) located roughly in the center of the red emission. The distance of this nebula complex is estimated to be about 3,600 light years distant. The dark region running diagonally through the nebula contains LDN 727 and several Dobashi listed dark nebulae. More to the right are Dobashi 1941 (upper right) and LDN 725 (right). These objects and some of the brighter stars are shown in the annotated image. Horizontal FOV is about 85'. Image resolution on the full size image is about 1.96 arcsec/pix.
