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.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
