Van Den Bergh Reflection Nebula Catalog
(vdB)
(catalog of reflection nebulae found in POSS plates)
The Van Den Bergh Catalog of Reflection Nebulae
(abbreviated vdB)
is a list assembled by Sidney van den Bergh in the 1960s of
bright nebulae found on plates of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS).
A few of the reflection nebulae are co-located with open clusters
that are often referred to by these reflection nebula
designators, e.g., open cluster vdB 130.
