Description

This image shows the IC 1396 star cluster (also known as Collinder 439 and Trumpler 37), associated emission nebulosity Sh2-131 (LBN 455), and the nearby region. Its wide field coverage includes  parts of Sh2-134 and Sh2-132. Open clusters NGC 7235 and NGC 7261 are in this field as well as vdB 142 and vdB 148. There are numerous dark nebulae in this field from the LDN and Barnard catalogs.  Some Lynds Bright Nebula objects are here as well. These objects and some of the brighter stars are identified in the annotated image.
