Description

This is a nine panel mosaic. Each panel has an exposure time of about 1.5 - 2 hours.

These elongated patches of emission nebulae are designated LBN 278, LBN 301, LBN 310, LBN 313, LBN 325, LBN 326 and LBN 335 in Lynd's Bright Nebulae (LBN) catalog. They are large and extremely faint emission nebulae located in Cygnus, 4.5 degrees straight west of Deneb, the constellation's brightest star. They belong to a huge nebulae complex which also includes the γ Cygni Nebula Region and the NGC 6914 and vdB132 Region to the south. The curved appearance and filamentary structure of these nebulae imply that they were formed by a supernova.

Lynds' Catalogue of Bright Nebulae is an astronomical catalogue of bright nebulae.

Objects listed in the catalogue are numbered with the prefix LBN (not to be confused with LDN, or Lynds' Catalogue of Dark Nebulae), though, many entries also have other designations, for example, LBN 974, the Orion Nebula is also known as M42 and NGC 1976.

It was originally compiled in the 1960s by Beverly Lynds. Objects in the catalogue include (among other things) the coordinates of nebulae, brightness from 1 to 6 (with 1 being the brightest and 6 being barely detectable), colour and size and cross-references to other astronomical catalogues if listed elsewhere.
