Sh2-157
My Sharpless Catalog project continue with Sh2-157.
Sh2-157 is a faint large nebula. Famous Bubble Nebula can be seen in upper left corner.This nebula looks like a gigant termite head to me.
Three versions precented here, first is in a Hubble palette,
second in "natural" colors and
third is an image with reduced stars to better show nebulosity, there seems to be lots offaint double ionized Sulfur (S-II) around.
