Notes

vdB 130 (GN 20.16.0) is a reflection nebula associated with a very young open cluster visible in the constellation of Cygnus. It seems to be illuminated by the star HD 228789, which is part of a star cluster. The cluster itself appears to be physically related to the supershell around Cyg OB1, a cometary CO cloud, ionized gas and regions of infrared emission.

The star HBHA 3703-01 is surrounded by the reflection nebula GM 2-39. The nebula is distinguished against the background of the overall molecular cloud just because of the presence of the star, which illuminates a part of the interstellar medium nearest to the star and results in the formation of an optical reflection nebula.
