About this image

After taking some shorter exposures to get T Tau's brightness I went over to 60s frames to see what the variable nebula was looking like at present. The meshing on the mount seems to like the cold weather as normally I am limited to 30s frames. It was -2C at 2300 and -4C later when I went to bed and -5C the next night.

The detail round T Tau is rather nice.
