      Description

      Sh2-310 is a massive Ha region in the constellation Canis Major.  The frame is chocked full of dark, reflection, and emission nebulae.  There are even some likely planetary nebulae lurking about.   

      My primary target on this project was the reflection nebula VdB-96, located at the center of the frame. That target was shot with the 2800mm scope and that image can be found here https://www.astrobin.com/dy4n50/C/

      This 380mm data was collected at the same time with the reduced FSQ106 that rides piggy back on the larger RiDK.  

      Hope you like it.
