Sh2-282, Sh2-283 and Sh2-284

These objects from the Sharpless catalogue, just south of the Rosette, are a bit low on my southern horizon, but this is at least the best time of the year to give it a shot. They are also surprisingly rarely imaged.

NGC 2282 (aka IC 2172 and vdB 85) is a rather complex object, classified both as a star cluster, reflection nebula and Ha region. (at least one paper has been written about it https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1997AJ....113.1788H). When I noted the red Ha emitting "ball" just above Sh2-284 I was thinking planetary nebula, but it is only classified as a Ha region in Simbad, and it is not in the HASH data base of PNs and PN candidates,.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
