I've long wanted to capture this particular nebula! Hind's Variable Nebula, in the constellation Taurus, is 400 light-years from the Sun and 4 light-years across. It is a Herbig-Haro object, a place where stars are born. It is illuminated by the star T Tauri, an emission star, which lights up a significant amount of the surrounding dust. Total exposure is about 22 hours.
