Melotte 31 consists of the six stars lying together (18 Aur - top right, 19 Aur - top left, 17 Aur - center right, IQ Aur - center left, 16 Aur - bottom) and the stars in between. Harrington also included the star 14 Auriga (at the bottom of the image) and called the structure a Lacrosse racket (Harrington 4).

Harrington also included the star 14 Auriga (at the bottom of the image) and called the structure a Lacrosse racket (Harrington 4).

NGC 2264 consists of a variety of objects: The Cone Nebula is the small dark cone centered at the bottom of the image, and above it extends the Christmas Tree Star cluster whose stars form a triangle with the apex facing the Cone Nebula.
The Christmas Tree Star cluster lies within the emission nebula Sh2-273.

At the top center is NGC 2259, the star cluster to the right of NGC 2264 is TR 5.
The bright spot in the trunk of the Christmas tree star cluster is the star system S Monocerotis.
The area around the trunk of the Christmas tree star cluster is often called the Snowflake Cluster because there are many stars converging as spokes to form a point, which looks like a snowflake.

To the right of the tree trunk is an area of nebula above the blue nebula, which is called the Fox Fur Nebula because it looks like a stole of fox fur.

Notes:

Even though IC 2177 is called the Gull Nebula, IC 2177 is not the complete nebula, but only the head, with the bright star HD 53367 in the center.

Just to the right of the head is very small planetary nebula PK 223-2.1.
Below it are the two nebulae Sh2-293 (the larger one) and Sh2-295 (the smaller one).
To the left of the two small nebulae, in the dark indentation in the wing, is the reflection nebula NGC 2327. Directly below it the cluster of stars with nebula is vdB 92.
To the left of it in the blue area near the bright stars is vdB 95.
Down at the wing tip, the bright yellow nebula, is Sh2-297.
At the upper wing (upper edge of the yellow nebula), is the star cluster NGC 2335.
The star cluster NGC 2343 is to the left of the head in the blue area.
Even further to the left, before the bright yellow area starts, is the star cluster NGC 2353. The bright yellow nebula at the upper left is Sh2-294.
The yellow area to the left of the lower wing is the carbon star W Canis Majoris.

The planetary nebula NGC 2438 (small blue nebula) is in the foreground and does not belong to M46. (According to recent investigations, it could be that the planetary nebula interferes with the star cluster after all and has the same distance. (https://arxiv.org/pdf/0710.2900.pdf)
Just above M46 is the planetary nebula Minkowski 1-18 (visible only with high image magnification).

Between M46 and M47 (slightly below) is the open cluster NGC 2425.

Above M47 is the open cluster NGC 2423.

In the lower right corner is the star cluster NGC 2414.
