Great Lacerta Nebula (Sh2-126)
Great Lacerta Nebula (Sh2-126)
Sharpless 126 (Sh2-126) is a large emission nebula in Lacerta, which appears in this image as a red nebula. The source of its ionisation is the intense ultraviolet radiation from the star 10 Lacertae, a blue main sequence star.
This region, aka the 'Great Lacerta Nebula', with its faint nebular filaments, is part of Lacerta OB1, a giant star-forming region about 1200 light-years from Earth.
This image is acquired with SPA-1 (Takahashi FSQ-106ED refractor). Data from 7 one-click observations.
Total integration time 680 minutes
LHaRGB: 8:18:14:14:14 sub-frames of 600s.
