Sh 2-4 is anemission nebula in the constellationScorpius. It is part of theSharpless Catalog assembled byStewart Sharpless.[4] It was originally misidentified as aplanetary nebula. The incorrect planetary designation PN H 2-6 can still be used as an identifier. It may be associated with the star cluster Havlen-Moffat 1.[1]

Visibility

[edit]

The nebula is bright, and visible with longer exposure. The nebula mostly emits red light, making viewing through ahydrogen-alpha filter effective.[5]

Structure

[edit]

Havlen-Moffat 1 is known to be a source of ionization within Sh 2-4. The nebula contains twoWolf-Rayet stars, designated WR 87 and WR 89.[6] Contained within the nebula is the infrared cluster [DBS2003] 118.[7]
