LBN782 in Taurus: dust, nebulae, galaxies and a brown dwarf

LBN782 (from Beverly Lynd's catalogue of bright nebula) is the blue reflection nebula on the left hand side. There are several Barnard dark nebulae in the field (B7, B10, B209, B211), E/S0 galaxy IC359 and also a brown dwarf, 2MASS J04141188+2811535. Not only is it a brown dwarf, it's also a variable as well...
