This is a complex region in Auriga rich with Sharpless Catalogue targets. The large left-hand circle is Sharpless sh-232. Moving right, the very bright blob is sh-252, and then sh-231 and finally the very small Sh-233 on the right.

We can also see a couple of PNe in the region PN G173.7+02.7 below Sharpless 235 and PN G173.5+03.2 (Pu 2) in the middle of Sh-232.

Here is a map of the region

Taken with a Takahashi Sky 90 telescope with an Astrodon 3nm Ha filter and an Atik 490 CCD Camera using the homemade telescope mount.
