These nebulae are very faint thus requiring long total exposure times. PLN 86+5.1 is the very faint circular planetary nebula just "above" and to the "left" of the blue reflection nebula vdB 134. Innumerable faint stars are seen in this region of the Milky Way giving the background a speckled appearance.
