A 5' region of nebulae off the 10th magnitude HD 293815, faint, fading away from the star, set in a field scattered with 7-10 magnitude stars
Looking at the survey imagery it appears that additional illumination sources are embedded in the nebula 2' to the southeast of HD 293815 where several bright IR sources are cataloged
