The color of Herbig stars....I found a red & orange one!

[Mengy]

In all of my 300,000+ lys of exploring, every Herbig star I've ever come across has been white-bluish and spinning fast. However, on my way home from the Abyssal Plain and the DWE, I came across something I'd never seen before in the 1st Quadrant region: a red-orange Herbig star:

Spoiler

It was spinning fast just like a normal Herbig, but being that it was very orange & red it really made for quite a dazzling jewel in the deep of space.

Are these actually common and I've just not seen one until now? Or did I find something rare out there?

It's a nice find, but rare... yeah kinda, an orange Herbig is hard to find.
I'm looking for a Herbig that's more a color of a L / T or Y. I recall seeing a post about this.

Think I've found one orange Herbig out of however many tens I've visited, so in my experience they're pretty rare.

Cool, never seen a red or orange one, well done!

Nice find, I was quite surprised when I found one.

I've also had yellow/orange and brown dwarf-style Wolf Rayets on this trip.

It's amazing what's out there.

The orange ones accounted for about 1/3 of the Herbig Ae/Be stars I found on my trip.

The first one I found was orange, and I almost didn't scan it, because it was 200kls away and I thought it was a red dwarf, I only went over to complete the system (A WR/O pair), then the next one was orange too, at first I thought the white ones were rare!

O7 cmdrs, just found an orange Herbig myself on my way home... about 24k LY outside the bubble and travelled about 365k LS to scan it... amazing...
