SH2-2
(Sharpless 2
)
This nebula complex is fairly large and is a perfect match for a wide field telescope. However, the brighter area in the lower right which resembles the shape of the Orion Nebula should be a good target for the larger telescopes out there. The nebula is rather weak when using standard RGB color filters but does very well with the hydrogen-alpha filter
