Description

NGC 1555

Hind's Nebula or Hind's Variable Nebula is a combination of reflection nebula and dust clouds. The nebula surrounds the star T Tauri - a classic type of variable star. The changing output from this star influences the brightness of the surrounding material.

Images taken by a QSI683-wsg8 camera with LRGB filters and a Takahashi FSQ-106 scope on a Paramount MyT from Deep Sky West's dark sky site in New Mexico. Processed with PixInsight 1.8.8-5. Subframes acquired over several nights in February 2019.
