Sharpless 232, 233 and 235 in Auriga

This is a wide-field view taken with my dual-RASA 8 rig with ASI2600MC and an NBZ (Ha+Oiii) filter. To this I have added Ha and RGB data I have from my dual-Esprit rig. For much of the other rather striking but fairly weak nebulosity in this image I have not found any names / designations.

RASA8 data collected 31 Jan 2022 (48 x 5 min). Esprit 150 (RGB) and Esprit 100 (Ha) was collected 29 Nov 2019 (90 x 10 min). So totally 19 hours. Processed in PS and PI.

Cheers, Göran

Wonderfully deep! So that fibrous looking nebulosity on the RHS has no official name or designation? How would you go about registering it as a discovery or is that even possible these days with so many all sky surveys having been completed?

Thanks a lot Steve! I am far from an expert on astronomical designations and catalogues, so I would not know how to proceed. I suspect that these structures are registered somewhere but just not in the catalogues used by PI or Astrobin. Maybe someone on SGL can enlighten us?
