The image is a two-tile mosaic showing a variety of objects located in the Vulpecula constellation. VdB 126 can be seen in the central part, as a bright blue reflection nebula which reflects the light of the hot blue star behind it. Similarly, LBN 133 is the blue reflection nebula that can be seen to the right of the center. Two prominent dark nebulae are also present: LDN 768 (to the left of center) and LDN 772 (top right). The four nebulae are surrounded by the dense star field of this part of the Milky Way.
