SH2-112
(Sharpless 112
)
This small but bright nebula is a good object for those with a small field of view. Using a larger telescope will reveal the fine details and structure. The object responds very well with the hydrogen-alpha filter and makes a great HA-RGB image, but you need a lot of color to colorize the nebula. The nebula also responds very well to Sulfur II and Oxygen III, so this is a good one for a color narrowband image. A wider field of view will pick up the nebula around this object as well as the nearby object SH2-115.
