30+ hours on Sh2-284!
It's often confused with the Little Rosette Nebula, which is Sh2-270.
It doesn't have any real nickname, I'm throwing "The Portal Nebula" out there ๐โโ๏ธ See little stick figures jumping into it.

Witch Head Nebula & Rigel!
This is a 2-panel mosaic totaling 30 hours from Bortle 1 skies. RASA 8 telescope and ZWO ASI2600MC camera with no filters.
I like the HA in the background, the faint dust all over, and the wisps around Rigel.
