NGC 2282 has been described as "little imaged." I'm not surprised! Some objects just need a big scope and maybe the 14 inch would have done this object justice. If you look at the image, you will see 2 tiny areas of red nebulosity at around the 2 o'clock position. The one closer to the center of the image a lower in the field is NGC 2282. I have no idea what the main area of nebulosity is called as Astrometry.net does not label it. Image was taken with RASA 8, DS10C, NBZ filter. 144 x 15s integrations under a bright moon.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
