Description
This image shows SH2-200 planetary nebula and Trumpler 3 open cluster seen in the upper right corner of this image. (PI doesn't seem to recognize this cluster but Simbad does)
SH2-200 is a very old planetary nebula in the constellation of Cassiopeia and is commonly known as the Bear Claw Nebula due to the ripped structures on the surface of the enormous gas shell formed as this dying star shed its atmosphere at the end of its life. The energy of this faint planetary nebula is able to ionize unrelated interstellar gas in the vicinity.
Trumpler 3 is a young approximately 70 million years old open cluster, and about 2100 light years away, with brightness of 7th magnitude and has about 570 members.
