NGC1554-1555 LRGB - The Hind's Variable Nebula

The two NGC numbers refer to the nebulosity around the star (i.e. the mustachios at the side of the star) and to reflection nebula illuminated by said star. The supposed variability has nearly vanished in modern times according to my recollection, so much so that is not anger a "hot" target for those of us who follows such nerdy objects.

The top image is due to my foolishness in trying to go after it a f/10. Don't really know what I was thinking about. This image was taken in 2007. The bottom image was taken a year after, nearly to the day (well at least some of the data was). Here I was more sensible in terms of focal ratios but I was using the MK67 so the final image isn't as deep (in proportion) to the previous one. I couldn't see any obvious variations so it confirmed to me that the variability wasn't much of a thing (opposed to what happens with the Hubble's variable nebula or HH215-Gyulbudaghian's Nebula).

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
