About this image

A night with quite good seeing and I got my focus right for once.

The thing with variable nebula is that they are indeed variable but with Gyulbudaghians nebula you don't know how it will change, when it will change or how fast the change will be. Gyulbudaghian's has been brightening this year and has gone from a thin faint arc on the left sweeping up toward the Herbig-Haro object, to having a much brighter arc on the left plus a odd, mottled, patch of light appearing above the star to now the odd, mottled, patch possibly beginning to extend to the right.

Things are happening and its well worth following.
