LBN 832 is a reflection nebula in Taurus
LBN 832 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Taurus . Lynds rated it brightness class 4 of 6, moderately faint, and color class 1, the bluest, strongest on the blue print. It spans 6′ × 3′ of sky. It is a faint target for long-exposure photography, and it is highest in the evening sky in January.
Reflection nebula: a cloud of dust lit by a nearby star. The dust scatters blue light best, so reflection nebulae look blue in photographs, and a nebula filter does not help them.
