Description

Nice small set of objects, the Firsse 213, a small star group, and the colourful Sh2-302, a region rich of HII. Interstingly enough the cluster Firsse 213 is actually NGC 2409. It seems that there should be a sort of dark nebulosity going down from the cluster. Of course, the reflection nebula VdB 97 shines on the upper part of Sh 302.

From a different point of view, the Sharpless 302 looks like a Beetle or a Ladybird beetle, seen from above .
