We finally had a clear night after way too many cloudy nights. Finally there was a chance to get image data. This shot is a stack of nine three minutes subs, taken with a Canon 20D and an but great, Tamron 180mm F/2.5 lens. The subs were too short to bring out the tail easily but the stacking helped. The subs were taken at 400 ISO to keep down the noise, but now I wish I would have done ISO 800 for ten minute subs. None the less, I had just enough data to put together a decent image. Now it's cloudy again. Go figure!

Here is another version of the image with some of the stars removed to allow the tail to be more visible.
