Sh 2-5 is an emissionnebula in the constellationScorpius. It is part of theSharpless Catalog assembled byStewart Sharpless.[3] It is contained within the much largerWar and Peace Nebula, listed in the Sharpless catalog as Sh 2-11,[4] and Sh 2-5 itself containsNGC 6337.

Like the nearbySh 2-4, Sh 2-5 is probably ionized by the nearby star clusterHavlen-Moffat 1. However, it is also possible that ionization may be caused by nearer stars in theSagittarius Arm.[5]
