It looks like Starry Night is not too far off the mark regarding tail length.

I think its worthwhile because we have a new moon weekend and there's no guarantee of clear skies later on. These events have a tendency to have a window of opportunity that can easily close and then you kick yourself for not doing it earlier.

Cheers. I have some 17 inch CDK images that required a 2 frame moaic to capture the whole tail. Its quite long and appears to be brightening although still quite faint.
