High-resolution optical UBVRI and H{alpha} images obtained with ALFOSC mounted on the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT), near-infrared JHK_S_ images obtained with NOTCam at the Nordic Optical Telescope, and VLT/ISAAC images obtained through the H_2_ (2.12{mu}m) filter were all used to make photometric and morphological studies of the point sources and the nebula seen towards Sh2-294. Identification of PMS members was done using three different methods: comparison with isochrones in optical colour-magnitude diagrams and detection of either near-IR excess or H{alpha} emission.
