Description

WR134 is the bright star just a bit to the upper right of the center (HD 191765). It's 400000 times a s bright as the sun. It lies in a vast hydrogen shell, that has been created by itself or another close-by Wolf-Rayet star WR 135. WR 134 shows strong line emissions of nitrogen. It's a bit of a mystery star: It has the characteristics of an eclipsing variable, but no companion could be detected so far. It also produces X-ray emissions which can't be attributed to a likely cause.
