Somewhere in the field of the first full frame photo is Comet C/2011 L4 Panstarrs. The bright star at the top is a magnitude 3.25 star in Libra. Second frame is a 1:1 crop of the middle of the first frame. Third frame is resampled 200%. It's so tiny in the ED80! It's got some growing to do over the next few months. It's supposed to be about magnitude 9.5 at the moment.

Details. 21 x 2 minute subs at ISO 800, Unmodified Pentax K-x, Kson ED80 at F5.5, Orion field flattener, Baader Semi-APO filter. Shooted over two very nearby streetlights. I had to extend the dewshield with a cardboard one to keep out the light.
