Description

Hind's variable nebula in Taurus has such a mysterious and somewhat dreamy  look.  It is  Illuminated by the bright golden star, T Tauri at the center and the colors are really beautiful. Both star and nebula are seen to vary significantly in brightness but not necessarily at the same time. The nebula is also a Herbig–Haro object (HH 155). This is my first attempt to this area and I was lucky with optimal weather conditions and dark skies.
