Peter,

Yes, it is certainly worth watching and seems to be developing quickly. 
There has been some impressive activity given that it is over 3au out. 
There's a really nice sequence from Michael Jäger on Space Weather:

but this was from very dark skies. Your image certainly shows some 
tantalising detail near the limit. My latest image taken just before 
yours is too noisy to show much other than the main tail:
