Dg113

I was "observing" with wikisky.org and came across this interesting object called DG113 about 1.5 degrees west of M50.
The 52' wide image below also shows the small (2' long) comet like nebula NGC 2313 top left,
and the large (10' across) faint nebulae Sh2-291 top right. DG113 or LDN 1655 is at RA 06 57 08, dec -08 14.
NGC 2313 was discovered with an 11" refractor in 1862 by d'Arrest.
