Description

Sh2-126 is an emission nebula visible in the constellation Lizard.

It is identified in the southern part of the constellation, about 1° in a westerly direction with respect to the star 10 Lacertae, a blue main sequence star of spectral class O9V; it has the appearance of a tenuous filament oriented in a northeast-southwest direction, invisible to simple observation with amateur instruments due to its weakness. The most suitable period for its observation in the evening sky falls between August and January, in particular for the regions located in the northern hemisphere.

Sh2-126 constitutes the brightest nebulous filament of the scattered cloud complex associated with Lacerta OB1, an OB association located about 370 parsecs (1200 light years) away, at a rather high galactic latitude; the source of the ionization of its gases is the intense ultraviolet radiation of the star 10 Lacertae, the dominant star of the association to which it belongs. Near this cloud is the long filament cataloged as LBN 437, associated with a group of pre-main-sequence stars and Herbig's Ae/Be stars.
