This delicate emission nebula is located in the constellation of Lacerta. Together with Sh2-126, it reveals filaments of ionized hydrogen.
In this region, the young star V375 is associated with the Herbig-Haro object HH398 — luminous structures that form when gas ejected by newly formed stars collides with the surrounding material.
