Hind’s Variable Nebula, also known as NGC 1555, is a variable nebula of about 4 light-years across, located some 400 light-years away from Earth at the edge of the Taurus Molecular Cloud. A variable nebula is a reflection nebulae that changes in brightness because of changes in the star whose light it reflects. Seen in this widefield image spanning nearly 4 degrees are large swathes of dust and the reflected light of young blue stars which add contrast to the otherwise monochromatic color of the region. The nebula is probably better imaged with a longer focal length spanning a degree or so but this widefield image does put it in context to the region it belongs
