Object name: SH2
Designation(s): SH2, 235,
SH2-235 is considered to be caused by the collision of two vast molecular clouds. The collision has triggered a great amount of star formation that is only seen in deep dust-penetrating infrared light. I\'ve seen it called the \"Brain Nebula\". It is about 1800 light-years away by some estimates. http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-data_query?bibcode=1996ApJ...463..630H&link_type=ARTICLE&db_key=AST&high=The faint H alpha seen in the upper left corner is a very small part of SH2-232. Even fainter tendrils from SH2-231 can be seen coming in from the right. They, along with SH2-233 way off to the right of my image are all part of the same complex per the cited paper.14\" LX200R @ f/10, L=8x10\' RGB=3x10\'x3, STL-11000XM, Paramount ME
