Most nebulae here lie in Scorpius, Canis Major and Monoceros
Lynds numbered her catalog along the Milky Way in order of galactic longitude, so each block of numbers covers a stretch of the Milky Way rather than a band of right ascension. This block runs from galactic longitude 214° to 360°; 47% of its nebulae lie within 10° of the Milky Way's plane. The largest is LBN 1077, 14° × 1.5°. The nearest with a measured distance is LBN 1110, about 411 light-years away.
