Description

From GalaxyMap:

Both Sh 2-144 and Sh 2-146 appear in the direction of the 377 thousand solar mass molecular cloud [UUT2000] Cloud B. Sh 2-144 appears to lie well in front of this cloud, however, and is associated with the local Cepheus clouds.

No ionising star for Sh 2-144 has been identified in the scientific literature. Avedisova associates this nebula with the pulsating variable carbon star MV Cep in star formation region 107.66+0.82.
