We present the observational results of Galactic H II region Sh 2-294, using optical
photometry, narrowband imaging, and radio continuum mapping at 1280 MHz, together with
archival data from the 2MASS, MSX, and IRAS surveys. The stellar surface density profile
indicates that the radius of the cluster associated with the Sh 2-294 region is~ 2.3'. We
estimate the minimum reddening E (BV)= 1.35 mag and a distance of 4.8±0.2 kpc to the
region. The ratio of the total to the selective extinction (RV) is found to be 3.8±0.1, indicates …
