SH2-295 (Sharpless 295 )

Both Sh2-293 and SH2-295 are seen in the image with part of SH2-296 also known as the Seagull nebula. SH2-295 is the smaller round nebula and picks up well even with the standard RGB filters. Using a good total exposure will help pick up the dimmer reflection nebula around this object. A larger telescope may pick up more structure than seen here and some of the dust lanes somewhat visible in this image. The nebula does quite well with the hydrogen-alpha filter.
