The LMC star R127 (=HDE 269858) has originally been classified as a late WN type (Walborn 1977). Since then, R127 has developed from spectral type B to A (Wolf et al. 1988) and is now categorized as a Luminous Blue Variable. R127 is embedded in gaseous material and a star cluster which are barely resolvable even on the highest-quality images available. Stahl (1987) studied the circumstellar material using narrow-band CCD images centered on nebular emission lines. No systematic census of the stars in the immediate vicinity of R127 has yet been published.
