Description

Given the relatively low luminosity of the Tamron 135 mm lens at F5.6, I tried 60s exposure, even if the object was between 305 and 310 degrees west and always at 60 or more degrees above the horizon.

This created field rotation with the altaz mount that can be noticed even if the image was abundantly cropped to keep only the central part.
