I didn't realise you could see the tail already. Faint & thin but very obvious in averted vision. Neat. Found it easily halfway between Sirius and Canopus and watched it for about 2 hours last night with a few other targets in between. 10" dob and 28mm ES68 gave the best view. A smaller scope would also give nice views I expect. Might try my Aldi dob tonight, or the 130 Astromaster I got from another IIS member rcently...
