Description

Hind's Variable Nebula aka Sh2-238 is 4 light years across and is illuminated by the star T Tauri. It is 400 light years distant.

I would like to have gotten more exposure time on this one but the winter weather in California this year did not agree.

Taken over 7 nights - November 7th 2023 to March 13th 2024 from SkiesAway Observatory.
