TAURUS, the imaging Fabry-Perot spectrometer, using a CCD detector, has been commissioned on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope, creating a powerful tool for studying the kinematics of emission line objects such as planetary nebulae. The mode of operation when using a CCD is different to that with IPCS (where rapid scanning is employed), so that account has to be taken of changes in atmospheric transmission between CCD readouts. The large dynamic range of the CCD (>200) allows the simultaneous study of the line profiles from the right and faint parts of the nebulae.
