NGC 1491, also known as LBN 794 or SH2-206, is a bright emission-type nebula located approximately 9,800 light-years from Earth in the constellation Perseus. The nebula obtains its dark red coloring due to Many massive stars (such as BD+50 866) embedded in NGC 1491 produce lots of ultraviolet radiat...

Sh2-73is located in the constellation Hercules and was mistakenly included in the Sharpless catalog as an emission nebula.We now know that the nebula is simply a molecular cloud. With its relatively high galactic latitude, about 45°, the integrated light of the galaxy illuminates the nebula. Full im...

Sh2-265, you can find at lower right hand side, is a very dimmed reddish H-alpha diffused nebula spread around 2 degrees northwest of Bellatrix. The nebula is one of gaseous matters forming the Orion Association, has a span of about 50 arc minutes. We can hardly recognize its detailed structures, co...

Sh2-232 (centre) and Sh2-235 (lower left) are large, faint regions of Ha-nebulosity in the constellation Auriga. But they aren’t the only objects in the image. The small oval structure just left of centre of Sh2-232 is a planetary nebula, PN G173.5+03.2. Another faint planetary appears as a small ye...
