Some of my images from the early hours of this morning linked below. There was
still a bit of moonlight in the sky but the Moon had disappeared behind the
hills. 2:10am, 05 Jan local time (15:10, 04 Jan UT) - 50 sec subs off the
tripod, Canon 400D, 18mm, ISO 1600, F/4.5:

Animation with my last 'useable' image from 2 Jan UT. Extent is limited by the
2 Jan shot but tail is showing faintly out to the top of that frame, or
33-degrees. Can't be certain of anything beyond that.

Visually there wasn't much to see with the lingering moonlight. I seemed to get
some faint flashes of the tail in averted vision but nothing I could hold.
