LBN 534 sits in both Andromeda and Cassiopeia and is a Reflection Nebula. The bright blue area in the upper portion of LBN 534 is vdB154, also a Reflection Nebula, and just a bit to the lower right of vdB154 is the PN PLN 110-12.1, hard to see. Also but hard to see are about a dozen small galaxies.
