Centerd on the reflection nebula VdB 133, this image covers 1.92 x 1.29 deg area about 3° southwest from Sadr (γ Cyg). VdB 133 receives and reflects the light of the star 44 Cygni, a yellow supergiant of spectral class F5Iab with apparent magnitude 6.17. Its distance, measured by the parallax, is about 485 parsecs (1583 light-years), which means that it's close to the great nebulous system of the Swan's Fissure. Other objects are also visible here (see mouseover). The most prominent of them is the reflection nebula surrounding the star 42 Cygni. Strangely, it is not catalogued nor from Sidney van der Berg in his VdB catalogue, nor in any other catalogue - fact difficult to explain, taking into account its relatively high brightness.
