Stacked in Deepskystacker. Processed in Maxim DL.
The blue ion tail is less active tonight, but the tuffs of smoke are likely disconnections. The yellow dust tail has sharp curvature towards the north. Visual estimate through 8x40mm binoculars = 4.9. Visual tail about 1 degree. Not visible to the naked eye due to low altitude.
A reminder that colour is only seen photographically, not visually
