[APML] Sh2-240

[Matt BenDaniel <matt@starmatt.com>]

Jon,

That's excellent; a very faint target. I was not able to get anywhere as 
much signal on my attempt.

I think to really image it clearly, one needs a Schmidt camera or wide 
field CCD with H-a filter.

(Sharpless 240, Sh2-240, and Shajn 247 are designations for the same object)

I suggested to Loke that he give it a try.
