Last night I captured these stunning dark nebulae in Cygnus including LDN 897–902, all surrounding NGC 6914 (blue reflection nebula, lower left) and the van den Bergh reflection nebulae vdB 131 and 132. Dark and reflection nebulae are difficult targets from heavy light pollution, but the bright Hα dust clouds of Cygnus created stunning contrast that brought out the reflection and dark dust structure.
