This region in Cepheus does offer delicate reflection nebulae that have been cataloged by Beverly T. Lynds, University of Arizona, in 1965. This catalog was made from studying the red and blue plates taken by the 48-inch Palomar Sky Survey. Cohen 129 is the small yellow nebula just slightly up of center.
