About this celestial object

A delicate nebular sheen near the horizon zone: NGC 2282.

NGC 2282 is known as a reflection nebula with a young cluster—dust scatters the light of newborn stars here.

So low in the sky, observation is tricky; near‑ground haze reduces contrast, yet the series integrates the faint nebula.

About 38 minutes total at 250 mm f/5.
