Scientific paper

BVRI color-difference measurements are reported for the unusual bipolar reflection nebula IC 2220 which surrounds an early-M giant. The data were obtained through BVRI imaging with a CCD detector. Analysis of the color difference between the nebula and the illuminating star HR 3126 indicates that the nebular dust, having formed in the outflow from the star, is similar to average interstellar dust. No evidence is found for the presence of extended red emission in this nebula, although there is an indication of nonequilibrium continuum emission. The Milky Way provides a significant amount of external illumination to IC 2220 in B and U.
