ASTRO: T Tarui and Hind's Variable Nebula
Larry names his sun shots. If I were to name this one I'd call it
"Warming by the Fire". The nebula sure looks as if it is being warmed
by T Tauri. I see a bump on T Tauri at the upper right. Could this be
Barnard's Nebula? I can't find any info on its position relative to T
Tauri. Just that it is about 10" in size and lost in the glow of T
Tauri. The glow in the background that ends above T Tauri is the Taurus
Molecular Complex that covers a good sized part of the constellation. I
was surprised it showed up with such a short exposure. Though my
exposures were screwy due to working around clouds. Some were just
unusable. In fact most were. I took 12 lum and 6 of each color and
this is all I could salvage. Still, I think it came out very well.
