Tonight there were bigger gaps in the cloud, allowing me to get an image with the Tak Epsilon.

This is a single 10sec exposure using the Altair Astro AA24CFX full-frame camera on the Tak Epsilon E180ED.  The sky was still fairly bright because of the almost full moon, so the image below has been background subtracted to allow the fainter details to be seen.



Of particular interest is the so-called anti-tail

Fabulous Mark, showing the Anti-tail well.
