SH2-183 (Sharpless 183 )

This is a faint nebula but has some very interesting detail when given the exposure time for it. The nebula does best with hydrogen-alpha but a color image can be done using the H-Alpha data to help create the color image. A large telescope with a large format camera should bring out the detail. With a wider field of view you can also capture SH2-182 and SH2-181.
