The authors have detected the presence of a blue reflection nebula in the emission region S155. They suggest that the B star HD 217061 is the illuminating star of the reflection nebula, although the ionizing star is the more distant O star HD 217086. Emission-line intensities of Hα, Hβ, [N II] λ6583, He I λ5876, and [O III] λ5007 confirm the model proposed by Felli et al. (1978) of this nearby, star-forming, molecular cloud region. IRAS intensities are used to study the dust emission.
