Sh2-170 Little Rosette Nebula in HSOrgb

Posted on February 12, 2019November 1, 2020

www.astrobin.com/390507/

Next one from the Sharpless catalogue of faint nebulae.
It’s not a common object, and of course… it’s faint.
Sh2-170 is an emission nebula in Cassiopeia at around 7500 light years away.
Always taken pictures of the past, something that happened 7500 year a go and now arrive to the earth.
The bright star at the centre of the nebula is ionising the surrounding hydrogen gas, causing the nebula to glow.
This nebula is about 2/3 the diameter of the full moon.
