Comet PANSTARRS C/2011 L-4 (taken on 15 March 2013)



Just a quick post, its been a while since I've added anything.

Looking through some old files, I rediscovered an image I had taken with my Canon 5D Mark II when PANSTARRS C/2011 L-4 was at perihelion in 2013.  Image was taken just after sunset, from Seaford Virginia with a 0.8 second exposure on a 50mm lens at iso 640.  I like the trees in the foreground giving a bit of scale to the image.

PANSTARRS L-4 is a non-periodic comet, so no more chances to see this one.

I've been helping a friend with his observatory, so not much imaging of my own lately to share for now...
