Sharpless 126 (Sh2-126) is a large red emission nebula in Lacerta. The source of its ionisation is the star 10 Lacertae, a blue main sequence star.

 

The yellow reflection nebula is designated LBN 437. It is a molecular cloud whose densest part is associated with YSOs.

This region, with its faint nebular filaments, is part of Lacerta OB1, a giant star-forming region about 1200 light-years from Earth.
