Default ASTRO: Sh2-126 The heaven's arrow?

This is the last in my short break from Arp galaxies. I've taken most
of the summer ones, not galaxy season with the Milky Way dominating the
sky. So I have to find other objects to tide me over or get wide angle
system. I really needed one for this object. It also needed a lot of H
alpha time but didn't get any.

Sh2-126 is a large HII/Reflection Nebula with lots of dust in Lacerta.
It contains an interesting reflection nebula centered on the variable
star V0375 Lac that varies from 14.24 to 12.94 magnitude. It appears
elongated in my image. This appears due to the reflection nebula as if
I only look at the brightest pixels it does appear round. NED and
SIMBAD also show another object at the same coordinates, MRK 0914. NED
lists it as the same object and considers it an UV Excess Source.
SIMBAD shows it as a different object with exactly the same position and
as a galaxy. Could this galaxy designation come from the oval
appearance? A bit SW of its position is a bright area that does appear
galaxy like but nothing is listed for that position. SIMBAD identifies
the reflection nebula as GN 22.32.5. Simbad also shows several HH
regions in the reflection nebula, one of which also shares the same
coordinates as the star and the Markaryan object, HH 398. It's enough
to make my brain hurt. I find little on the distance to this object.
One source say 600 parsecs or about 2000 light years. That's probably a
very large "about".

I wanted to get some H alpha to go with this but weather never
cooperated and I soon forgot about it until I went to process it. By
then it was long gone from the sky. The image was taken July 28, 2009 UTC.

14" LX200R @ f/10, L=8x10' RGB=3x10'x3, STL-11000XM, Paramount ME.

You are really good at finding off the beaten path targets Rick

This is no different

I like this one

This one isn't all that uncommonly imaged but it is uncommon to do it
LRGB. In narrow band the extensive dust and reflection elements are
lost so it looks very different. In some I can match stars but not
nebula. If not for the stars I'd think they were entirely different fields.

This one is far larger than my field and there's lots of other stuff all
around so might be a good target for your humongous chip and refractor
but will need lots and lots of time.

I need to convince Kodak to redesign the 39Mpixel to have microlenses and no
metal light shield

they ought to be able to have the same QE as the KAF3200ME with that bad
boy. If they did it would be the bee's knees for astro-imaging

Wow, that's a strange object. There is some very unusual detail in it. Makes
me wonder what caused these structures.
