LBN 270 is a dim nebula (5 out of a 1-6 scale where 1 is the brightest) located in Cygnus. This image is centered on the nebula but the exact location is elusive. LBN 273, 274 and 292 comprise the brightest nebula in the image. Most of the nebulosity in this image has also been cataloged by Dickel, Wendker and Boeritz (DWB). The catalog of various Ha regions located in the Cygnus X Region was published in 1969. The paper with catalog can be found here - http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1969A%26A.....1..270D.

The two blue reflection nebulae are cataloged as NGC 6194 as well as vdB 131 and 132.

This object is part of the Astronomy League Bright Nebulae Program.
