Inverse Spitzer 8 μm image of the Cygnus region showing the location of the 61 OB candidates. The 42 confirmed massive OB-type stars earlier than B3 are indicated with red dots. The remaining stars are late B and foreground A-F-G stars which are indicated with green dots. The solid line circle delimits the 1 deg radius area of Cygnus OB2 adopted by Comerón & Pasquali (2012). For reference, the dash-dotted line circle shows the area considered by Wright et al. (2015).
