Object:HII  (SIMBAD class: HIIReg = HII Region)
Stat:is completely incorporated in Simbad
Note:LHA 120-N: identified with acronym 'e' on Hodge & Wright V charts (ref. 1967SAOP.4699....1H) while N means NGC. A few nebulae are very large: No. 56. Nos 10 and 135 which are rather 'constellations'. See the comment of ref. 1956ApJS....2..315H in the table of references. Identif. charts. Some components with a format 'LHA 120-N NNA' have been added later in the literature.
