Starship Asterisk*

Thanks Joe and Art. I defer to the experts, but the blue nebula about 1 deg from Phi Tau looks like LBN 782 also known as Cederblad 30. See image by Jim Thommes http://www.jthommes.com/Astro/images/LBN782_FSQ_PS5CrpRz_annotated.jpg And especially nice by S-J Park: https://www.astrobin.com/326174/0/?...

Finnegan did the dying, probably.

Could be mistaken, but another comet, 54P/de Vico-Swift-NEAT, may also be visible is this image (to the right of phi Tauri, blue tinted, and superimposed on part of the dark nebulae in Taurus, roughly left of center).
