Description and Details: This wide-field image captures the faint hydrogen emission of the Great Lacerta Nebula (Sh2-126) intertwined with a complex network of dark nebulae. While browsing astronomical surveys, I noticed how perfectly this extended structure fits into the field of view of a 135mm lens, making it an ideal target to reveal both glowing hydrogen filaments and obscuring dust lanes within Lacerta.
