Description

Sh2-284 is a star formed region, some 15,000 ly away, in the constellation Monoceros.  I don't know that is has any official name but it does seem to have a number of nicknames: the Siling Cat, Little Rosette, Portal nebulae and probably more.  There's a lot going on in this image, the red emission nebulae, the blue reflection nebulae and all of those dust clouds.
