The reflection nebula  surrounding the Herbig Ae/Be star V1025 Tau and its surroundings are a very rarely imaged object.  There are only a handful of images of this object the best by Adam Block.

If we look on the CDS Portal, we can see which bands have the greatest magnitude to give some idea of how to best image this object. The magnitudes of some of the various bands would suggest that imaging this object is possible for amateur astronomers.

Very interesting nebula that looks well-suited for imaging with larger amateur telescopes.  Noting that the integration time on Block's image is about 35 hours, I would assume that it's quite faint.
