Description

Despite being only 5 degrees above the horizon when I imaged it, both the broad yellow tail and the fainter blue ion tail are apparent. And the tails are long - this image, taken with a 135mm lens (~200mm 35mm equivalent on the X-T10), is uncropped.

Acquisition details: Fujifilm X-T10, Samyang 135mm f/2.0 ED UMC @ f2.0, ISO 1600, 40 x 15 sec, tracking with iOptron SkyTracker Pro, stacking with DeepSkyStacker, editing with GIMP and Astro Pixel Processor (I removed the heavy background gradient using Astro Pixel Processor's 'remove light pollution' tool.). Taken July 13, 2020 from Bortle 3/4 skies at 11:15 pm Pacific (the beginning of astronomic dark).
