Sharpless 303 (Bran 3, LBN 1047 and others) is a faint HII region located approximately 1700 light-years away in Canis Major.
There are a lot of other designated nebulae and dusty regions in this image. Several denser areas can also be found in the Planck Galactic Cold Clump (PGCC) catalog.
Luminance – 12x600s – 120 minutes – binned 1x1
