I thought so too. Probably because the moon was a bit further away in the sky. I could see about 12-14 degrees of main tail with direct vision over city lights tonight, compared to about 10 degrees last night at the same time and from the same location (western end of Red Hill reserve, Canberra). The LMC was a little less easy to see tonight, so it wasn't air clarity.
