Description

Capture and stacking by Paul Kummer. My post processing.
We spotted these nebulae just south of the Rosette in our Samyang 135 Orion Monoceros mosaic and took a closer look with the RASA 8. Sh2-280 reminds me of the Flying Bat nebula. 120x3 min subs, ASI2600MC Pro, NEQ6.
Blending the nebulosity (but not stars) into our very widefield mosaic gave it a lift: https://www.astrobin.com/full/zxcwoo/D/
