Let $\Gamma$ be a circle with diameter $AB$ and centre $O$. Let $l$ be the tangent to $\Gamma$ at $B$. For each point $M$ on $\Gamma$ different from $A$,consider the tangent $t$ at $M$ and let it intersect $l$ at $P$. Draw a line parallel to $AB$ through $P$ intersecting $OM$ at $Q$. The locus of $Q$ as $M$ varies over $\Gamma$ is
