Description

Hind's Variable Nebula (NGC 1555) is a variable nebula illuminated by T Tauri. The orange nebula is 4 light years across and 400 light years away from Earth.
I captured this object over a ~2 week timeframe (Nov. 28 to Dec 15) from my Bortle 5 backyard. So even in suburbia, you can capture a little dust. All in all I used 27 hours and 55 minutes of data. I captured not only LRGB frames, but also SHO frames. I used these to enhance the red and blue channels.
