Hi Lester,
I saw it this morning for the first time (just a 5-10 minute glimpse at 3.20am) and it lives up to all the hype. Superb, rivals C/2006 P1 McNaught -- and that's saying something. Clouds came from everywhere as I was setting the camera up.
Wonderful image Lester!
Re length of the tail, from your image I'd say 17-18 degrees.
After using Megastar and doing a more careful measure , I'd say a whisker under 15 degrees.
Best,
Les D
