In southern region of Lacerta, it's an extraordinary dimmed and large H-alpha nebulosity lying in the outskirts of Milky Way.
The elusive autumnal object consists of a reddish filament structure with a length of over 3 degrees and color-less thin streaks distributed in northern part, of course we cannot detect the nebula with our naked eyes.
Around the region of reddish nebula, you can see several bright stars scattered loosely, called "Lacerta OB Association" that contains many young stars.
