Sh2-263 at upper left hand side is a small sized diffused and reflection nebula at 2.2 degrees NNW of gamma Ori (Bellatrix).
The nebula has a size of about 15 arc minutes and is emitting by a central star with 5.7th magnitude.
Sh2-265, you can find at lower right hand side, is a very dimmed reddish H-alpha diffused nebula spread around 2 degrees northwest of Bellatrix.
The nebula is one of gaseous matters forming the Orion Association, has a span of about 50 arc minutes.
We can hardly recognize its detailed structures, contains complicated dark nebulae, looks like a ring structure.
