SH2-163 (Sharpless 163 )

This Sharpless object offers quite a bit to most setups. Wide field telescopes can pick up Sh2-163 and a lot of nebula nearby. The larger telescopes can bring out the detail and structure of the bright nebula. SH2-163 is mostly red so the H-Alpha filter will do very well. I suspect the oxygen III filter will do well with the brighter part of this object
