Description

Gary Imm's recent post of vdb26 with LBN828 https://www.astrobin.com/frtqh3/?nc=collection&nce=1924  reminded him in a smaller way of the Seven Sisters , so I researched what the wide view looked like and sure enough he was right. 
Though not quite as striking as the Pleaides, there is a very nice  open cluster of colorful stars, IFN?, and reflection nebula.  Using the zoom you can see vdb26 and LBN828, lowest of the large blue stars in the frame.

Thanks to Gary Imm for referencing these stars and for all the great things he does on Astrobin!
