This image shows you a tiny round reddish nebula lying just east of a vast supernova remnant of Sh2-240 (Simeis147) spread around a border between Auriga and Taurus. This nebula has a number of LBN826 (Sh2-242) and a diameter of about 8 arc minutes. We can capture the nebula clearly in same field of Sh2-240 on photo films or CCDs.
