Comments: This was one of the first publications of this object in color on the internet; taken way back in 2008.

Reflection nebulae in Taurus cataloged by Beverly T. Lynds Catalogue of Bright Nebulae 1965. LBN 777 was rarely imaged prior to 2008. Many of the other very faint dust clouds in this frame had not been imaged before that time. Barnard 207 is the dark nebula which is just "above" the "eye" of the vulture's head.
