Hind's Nebula Changing

About this image

I know its a bit of a niche interest, but as T-Tauri is fading so Hind's variable nebula appears to be changing too. Unfortunately, its chosen to do it as it moves toward conjunction with the Sun.

The attached image is awful compared to the lovely images posted earlier today but was taken with the object only a bit over 20 degrees elevation....

Anyway TL:DR Hind's variable nebula is being variable!

Interesting times.
