Comet Pan-STARRS and Pan-STARRS 8th May UT

Here's a shot of Comet Pan-STARRS taken from the 10,000ft summit of the Haleakala volcano in Maui ten days ago, using a Canon EOS 600D and 50mm lens. Not visible to the naked eye, 4 degrees above the northern horizon, I completey stuffed up getting a better shot with more zoom.
Also, taken earlier just after sunset, is a shot of the Pan-STARRS observatory not 200m away, where the comet was discovered.

Thanks for looking,

Tom
