Description

Sharpless 2-140, the brightest section of the field in the lower left, and neighbors shown in Ha. This FOV is located southwest of IC 1396, and makes a triangle with that object and the Iris Nebula. Moon was essentially full, and the sky became obscured by clouds just after midnight. Later this month when the Moon is not a factor I will try to collect OIII and RGB data for a color image. Right nw I am hopping among various Sharpless targets just grabbing Ha data.
