SH2-111
(Sharpless 111
)
This rather large and extremely faint nebula needs a hydrogen-alpha filter to help pick up the dim structure in the nebula. It extends a bit more than what is seen here. A larger telescope may point to the brightest part of the nebula, which appears to have some very interesting structure. The HA-RGB image is easy enough to do, but you need to really shoot the RGB for quite a while to help colorize the nebula.
