Re: Where?
I personally use a meade model 114EQ
D=114mm F=910mm f/8
I use the stock wooden tripod which I find a little cumbersome, but it is adequate for my stargazing. I don't believe we have an angle from Alaska otherwise this would have made the rounds here as well. Do you have the numbers on locating it?
Do you see the effect of more stars behind the tail? Could that be a focusing effect, or possibly a sun dog effect caused by the ice crystals which even you admit are present in the tail?
