Well, if you thought you had seen some good McNaught photos, try this:

Heavens!!

Mine aren't in that league, eg:

http://www.marktphoto.com/DSCF0440.JPG

but seeing Mr Crause's effort has motivated me to try for a much longer
exposure to see if the tail is anywhere near still that long - even if
it is half that I would be impressed. Wonder what the weather will do
tonight....
