Description

Sh2-202 is the large red emission nebula occupying most of this image. It is almost 3 degrees across, or 6 times the width of the Moon, and is located in the constellation Camelopardalis (the Giraffe) on the border with Cassiopeia.  It is about 2,600 light years away from us. Stock 23 is the open cluster embedded in the center of Sh2-202, and has some hazy reflection nebula around it. On the right edge near the top of the image, the bright patch is Sh2-201.
