Description

The larger nebula in the center is SH2-232.  It is sometimes referred to as The Great Pumpkin nebula.  It is very faint and took over 11 hours of integration and could have used much more.  SH2-235 is the brighter, smaller nebula to the upper right.  SH2-231 is the smaller red area above SH2-235.
