So it was Sh 2-216 (or Simeis 288). Wow. Now I see that the nebula to the left 
is Sh 2-217 and that the small nebula Sh 2-219 is down to the right of Sh 
2-217 between two stars. The dark nebula LDN 1464 is also in there, in the 
middle at the bottom.

If you don't mind, I'll use your photo to correct the size and position of 
Simeis 288 in my database.
