Description

From Galxymap:

This diffuse HII region is part of the Barnard 223 dark cloud in the southern part of the Lambda Orionis ring (most of which forms the huge Sh 2-264 HII region).

Avedisova places it in star formation region SFR 195.06-11.99 as part of the Lambda Orionis ring complex along with Sh 2-263, Sh 2-264 and the dark nebula LDN 1582 (Barnard 32).

The position of this nebula in the BFS Vizier catalog is currently incorrect.

This diffuse HII region is part of the B223 section in the southern part of the Lambda Orionis ring. However, this region is not ionised by Lambda Orionis itself. Instead it is probably ionised by stars in the Ori OB1b association. [1]
