Comet C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) and M4

Over the next few nights incoming Comet PANSTARRS passes near globular cluster M4. Here is an image from tonight, which is cropped from the original QHY9 stack of 60 x 45 seconds using a C8 Hyperstar. The comet is circled and is elongated due to motion during the exposure.
