Excellent Lester! Shows the tail right to edge of frame, about 38 degrees. I shot a bit wider, tail seems to go faintly right into the Milky Way, 39 degrees.

Sky was pretty good here but it's getting harder to image by the night. Maybe in a couple of nights time more of the tail will be revealed as it moves into a clearer patch of sky.
