North is up in this image.  The main object in this image is LBN 878. It is the red and brown nebula dominating the field. The full nebula complex is a combination of emission and dark nebulae.  Included in this overall object structure is LBN 879 which is in association with the variable star FU Ori. LBN 879 is the small bright nebula in the centers and is also known as CED 59. The dark nebula Barnard 35 encompasses the LBN 879 structure. The very dark portion of the red part of LBN 878 is the dark nebula LDN 1594. Some of the other dark nebulae structures are included in the Dobashi and TGU catalogs.  These objects and some bright stars are identified in the annotated image..     Horizontal FOV is approximately 88 arc minutes (1.88 arcsec/pix image scale on the full size image).

Image center is located approximately - Equatorial 2000: RA: 05h 45m 22s Dec: +09°04'12"
