Panstarrs amongst the rocks

[colinmlegg (Colin)]

I had to drive around a bit yesterday and last night to avoid the clouds. The comet is still a great sight very low in the WSW. I really enjoyed finding Lemmon in binocs then sweeping down to Panstarrs in a single move. Never done that before. Hope others get to see it tonight.

Settings: 200mm, f/2.8, iso 8000, 2 seconds, 8:06 pm WST

Superb work, mate!

Tomorrow night (if the clouds leave) is looking good for both old mates in the sky.

Nice work we have not seen the sky for weeks in the tropics so everyone's images of these comets are very much appreciated, thank you.

Very nice Colin!

Thanks guys Been driving back and forth the last couple of days trying to outwit the cloud gods. The're a fickle bunch, that's for sure!

Mark, I should be able to bring out some detail in the rocks once I process it more. This was just a quicky from my travelling laptop.

Hope you rain soaked east coasters get your chance soon. I reckon it's still a show for 3 or 4 more days right on the horizon around 45 mins after sunset.
