Comet PanStarrs over Gosford Waterfront

Captured last night at Gosford Waterfront, in what may be my first and last glimpse of the Comet before it sinks below the horizon for the Southern Hemisphere and becomes a Northern Hemisphere object from around the 11th March onwards.

5s exposure @ ISO2000, f/5, 55mm with the Canon 6D and 24-105mm lens.

Large version

It was a nice naked eye sight, would look even better under dark skies. Couldn't spot it until about 8:03 in the camera zoomed in, and visually from about 8:10pm.
