SH2-137
(Sharpless 137
)
This nebula although on the fainter side has some nice structure in it. It is a good size nebula for wide field setups. This image is about 90x60 arc minutes in size. The nebula responds good to the hydrogen-alpha filter but I was not able to detect anything with the oxygen III in a 15 minute exposure. The color RGB is very weak even after an hour so blending the H-Alpha into the color will help you create a nice color H-Alpha image. That said this object shows nice detail as a high contrast black and white image.
