Seanie, yes! you will be able to get very close in, but remember - if the camera is not tracked you will probably get away with only a 20second or so exposure maximum if it's on a tripod
And since the fragmenrts are so far apart now, you won'y get them both in the same field of view.
I'm off to the Killarney area for a few days from Sunday night for a bit of hiking, camping, and stellar observing! I'll make sure to bring my 250mm lens so!
