Andrew,

Great you go to see it. I hope others in the UK have been lucky too. Alex,
I know that the weather has been very frustrating but keep trying.

After a frustrating few days it was pretty clear up the mountain on La
Palma today and the view was spectacular despite the Moon. The tail was
visible NE for at least 12 deg. Photographically it was more like 20 deg
and there was also at least 5 deg, probably more, of anti-tail since today
was the day we crossed the orbital plane. The attached is a single 4s
exposure at ISO1600 with a 50mm f/1.8 lens using a Sony A7s camera. This
image is 41x27 deg taken at 20:03 UT.

Nick.
