Comet PanSTARRS (C/2011 L4)

Tucson, AZ

Went out west of Tucson to get a cleaner shot of this comet this evening.
A slight crop off of the top and a bit of each side for more of a pano comp.

A little more pleasing than the shot from the previous evening (below)

I have been watching Panstarrs over the past few weeks, although it's small it's great to see one in our skies again. Excellent capture Sam. V Barbara

Yes, your top image gives a much nicer view and the sunset is much more prevalent....

Fabulous capture, Sam. Going to try tonight with the thin Moon to guide me.

Love it Sam - the open transition of evening colour accent with our recent visitor. (Hoping the WX is clear here this week.)

Nice one, especially with that sunset. The mountain is blocking our view, so we're going to have to take a ride to the west to see as well.
