LBN 141 is a reflection nebula in Delphinus
LBN 141 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Delphinus . Lynds rated it brightness class 5 of 6, faint, and color class 1, the bluest, strongest on the blue print. It spans 2.7° × 1° of sky. It is a faint target for long-exposure photography, and it is highest in the evening sky in September.
Reflection nebula: a cloud of dust lit by a nearby star. The dust scatters blue light best, so reflection nebulae look blue in photographs, and a nebula filter does not help them.
