Description

After midnight on New Year's eve, with plenty of Champagne in my CPU, the sky cleared and I could not stop myself from doing some semi-drunk astrophotography. As you see I just about managed to fit these Sharpless objects into the RASA8 FOV. Sh2-117 and 219 are bright planetary nebulae (I presume), while Sh2-221 is a very faint supernova remnant also known as SNR G160.4+02.8.
