Description

These rather bright Ha objects from the Sharpless catalogue are rather low on my south horizon, but at their highest this time of the year so I grabbed the opportunity. They are surprisingly rarely imaged and I was alerted on the beauty of Sh2-280 by a recent lovely image by @Gary Imm . Possibly their close neighbor the Rosette Nebula attracts all the attention.
