This image covers some 1.46 x 1.06 deg on the border between constellations Perseus and Camelopardalis. Two Sh2 objects can be spotted on the image. Sh2-107 (in the middle), despite its planetary nebula appearance is an HII region ionised by an O9.5 IV star (MFJ SH 2-207 1). Sh2-208 (much smaller, at the left) is ionized at least by three stars: MFJ SH 2-208 3 (O9.5V), LS V +52 19 (O9.5 V) and MFJ SH 2-208 6 (B0V). Avedisova places Sh 2-207 and Sh 2-208 together in the star formation region SFR 151.32+1.99 along with the radio source KR 198. The distance to Sh2-107 is estimated to be 3400 pc (Pismis, Hasse,Quintero. 1991); and this to Sh2-208 - 7600pc (Blitz, Fich,Stark. 1982)
