I call this one “Smoke & Fire”. It is a van den Bergh object located in the Serpens cloud region in the “Great Rift” area of the Milky Way plane.

The whole area contains a wealth of different features creating an overall smokey appearance. It includes dark dust regions, bright and faint blue reflection nebulas, a compact red/orange reflection nebula, and a mixture of very old and very young stars.
