I've had to push the processing to get a hint of tail but at the expense of high noise and some DSS stacking artefacts (coma on bright stars) DeepSkyStacker (DSS) 3.3.4 Stacked 100% of 17 Images in Stars+Comet mode, ISO 800 @ 30 Sec, 121 DARK @ 120 Sec, 30 BIAS, 17 FLATS, Post-processed with Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and Noise Ninja Telescope - PowerNewt 200mm f/4 with PowerNewt(ASA) f/2.84 Reducer/Coma Corrector, No LPS filter, Baader BCF modified Canon 70D DSLR field 90' x 134' , Ambient 22-21C.
