A small emission nebula in central Vulpecula is Sh2-88. The nebula has a size of 17×9 arc minutes, but very dimmed so only long-exposed photographs can detect. Two tiny nebulae are paralleling just south of Sh2-88, right and left ones are LBN137 and LBN138, respectively. More, a reddish nebulosity in the lower side has an ID of Sh2-87.
