About this image

The aim was to maximise the number of graze contacts by careful selection of the observing site to about 50m on the ground. 81-Tauri is listed in the BAAH 2017, and was a short drive away for me (1 hr). It turned out to be a very nice event, and the cloud kept away. Video can saturate very easily in poor conditions, so I was please that sky was clear enough. The video can be seen on YouTube https://youtu.be/SsZkFPbXZIc
