Description

These nebulae, a mix of faint reflection nebulae and molecular clouds, are located at a declination of +49 degrees on the border of the Andromeda and Cassiopeia constellations.  Although these 4 are designated as members of the Lynds Catalog of Bright Nebulae, they are all fairly dim.  Their brightness are rated 4 on a scale of 1 to 6, where 1 is brightest and 6 is barely detectable.

The image spans about 2 degrees. As with many of these nebulae, not much has been written about them.  There seems to be a pattern, or at least a "common thread", from upper left to lower right, but I have no idea if there is any physical basis for this alignment.
