The above image includes 2 separate nebulae listed in the Sharpless catalog of HII regions. They are members of a complex of 4 HII regions consisting of Sh2-231/232/233 & 235 [1]. The large nebula in the image is cataloged Sh2-231 and the small nebula is Sh2-233. They are located in the direction of the Auriga constellation at an approximate distance of 1800 parsecs[1] (⁓5,900 light-years) from the Earth. These objects are associated with a giant molecular cloud, G174+2.15[1], in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way.
The image above is oriented with north to the top and east to the left. It was assembled as a bi-color image using narrowband filters. Ha filtered data was mapped to Red and OIII data mapped to Green and Blue. Stars were overlaid with data from a separate RGB filtered image. This method produces a near true color image.
