About this image

An image of the field of Nova Tauri and a spectrum to monitor for any changes. Only very subtle differences from my previous spectra. A line just on the red side of H beta which was clearly seen on 8th October had faded by 11th October and has now disappeared. [Position indicated by the red tick mark]. V-mag near 11.4 when the image and spectrum acquired.
