Q2 Machholz from late 2004 early 2005 was a difficult one to get a nice tail from with my equipment. Yet I've seen some amazing shots with Sbig cameras and even DSLR's. The image of Q2 with the tail going through the Pleiades was amazing. It was cloudy here at that time but my equipment wasn't really up to the task anyway. Maybe if I spent a bit more time with greyscale rather than my early tricolour experiments I coul have squeezed more detail out of it. Or maybe not.
