Nice job Ian, Lester!
Clear night tonight and I decided to give it one more go. Quite pleased with the result, appears to show the tail to around 32 degrees length. There is the vaguest hint of a continuation to the Milky Way but I think it's star alignments leading the eye in, as on the 16th. Details on pic:

Here's the normally processed version, with the tail barely visible:
