HD 65750, also known as V341 Carinae is a bright red giant star in the constellation Carina. It is surrounded by a prominent reflection nebula,[14][13] known as IC 2220, nicknamed the Toby Jug Nebula.
Characteristics

Olin Jeuck Eggen and Norman Roy Stokes announced their discovery that the star's brightness varies, in 1970.[16] It was given its variable star designation, V341 Carinae, in 1975.[17] HD 65750 is located about 900 light years away, and has an apparent magnitude that varies between 6.2 and 7.1 and a metallicity just 40% of the Sun. When it is at its brightest, it is very faintly visible to the naked eye of a person with excellent observing conditions. It is part of the Diamond Cluster moving group.
The star has a radial velocity of 20 km/s.[18] The star has a radius over 100 times wider than the Sun's; were it to replace the Sun, HD 65750 would extend past the orbit of Mercury.
Nebulae
The nebulae is a mystery as the variations in nebulae brightness appear to be unrelated to the host star.[19] One theory is that rather than being an accreting protoplanetary disk the star may be an evolved star that is losing material.[20][21]
