Description

Friday night was clear and moonless so I could continue my hunt of objects in the Sharpless catalogue in Auriga. Adding a second panel to the recently posted image of Sh2-232 & Co allowed me to make a panoramic view. I wonder why Lynds and Sharpless left out some of the more striking nebulosity in this area, including the fiametous nebulosity just above the Spider nebula (Sh2-234) and the big blob at the bottom of the image.
