μ-Tau (Star)
R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 30 arcminutes across.
From South El Monte , μ-Tau is difficult to observe as it will appear no higher than 18° above the horizon. It is visible in the dawn sky, rising at 03:05 (PDT) – 2 hours and 44 minutes before the Sun – and reaching an altitude of 18° above the eastern horizon before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 04:39.
