About this image

A much better night tonight although the crescent Moon was becoming a problem. This is a stack of images taken just as astronomical twilight. Lots of detail in the ion tail and the broad, curving dust tail is visible for around 3-4 degrees. I have another set of images taken further up along the tail so I'll do a mosaic when I get home.
