About this image

Its a bit low in the sky in the evenings at present, but its well worth a look before it goes into conjunction with the Sun.

As T-Tauri has faded the associated nebula has changed in appearance as Richard Sargent noted a few weeks back. Just compare it with my image from a year ago. https://britastro.org/observations/observation.php?id=20240309_191107_ff7e9b594b9c90f0

It will be interesting to see how the nebula changes as T-Tauri's fade continues. How faint will it get?
