Fantastic work again Rob on recording the tail for 39 degrees. Thanks for your comments Liz.

Yes extreme wide field is the best way to record/see this large faint comet. IMO to try and see this in a telescope would be like trying to see the Horse Head.

Here is my stack of only 4x4 minute exposures with 24mm lens at F2 and Astro 40D at ISO 1600. Shows the tial with more contrast. Right side of frame is hazey due to thin cloud.
