This field covers a part of the Taurus Molecular Cloud with span of 3.6 ×2.4 degrees around 8 degrees northeast of the Pleiades (M45) in northern Taurus. You can see a reflection nebula of vdB27 in center of the image. The nebula is the southern part of a comparatively large-scaled dark nebula of B10 reflecting a light of star. And you can detect a stripe-shaped dark nebula stretched southward.
