Comet PanStarrs at sunset

Uploaded by: GeorgeRX — Monday March 11, 2013 — Tucson, AZ (Current Weather Conditions)

The comet was very close to the sun and was very close to setting when I found it the haze of sunset. Tomorrow (3/12) it will be close to the moon. Try binoculars... not really visible to the naked eye. Photo using Borg 77ED telescope.

Good one George. I'm glad someone has managed to catch this fella. Like Bronwyn, I have looked several times, but I think it has been too close to the sun. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: June 12, 2005 Comments: 6820

Difficult capture. Great shot. Too cloudy where I'm at to have a chance of seeing it, so your photo is my only glimpse. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: June 21, 2004 Comments: 812
