When did you take the shot & How long was the exposure? to me it looks like image shift during the exposure.

I got similar effects when I took some shots without using a remote/cable release, due to mirror bounce/camera shake, it looks like the effect when the camera moves during the exposure. The tail is also looks rather more blurred than I have seen in recent images.

It is easy to confirm by checking images from other people taken at the same time.

If that is fragmentation then - Wow! That would be an awesome catch. When was the photo taken Phil?

Welcome to the site mate :thumbsupmate:

Thanks for the reply. From what everyone is saying it is camera shake. To Radar the photo was taken in Rockhampton Queensland.

I tend to think a double exposure but it would have been great if it had fragmented and you caught it.

Cool shot mate. If it were a fragmentation that would be a great shot.
