Comet Pan-STARRS and its March+ 2013 appearance

if only you could get him interested in astronomy and joining the local club,
could you imagine the scope he could buy !!!

Caught PanSTARRS a few evenings back, as twilight deepened it became naked eye (until the clouds rolled in)

Comet Pan-STARRS - 19th March - Shannon - Ireland

Looking good for later on, interesting to see how much of an effect the brightening moon will have on the comet

Got another opportunity to see / photograph this comet tonight.
It's loosing magnitude for sure, could just barely make it out before it set.
The image is a stack of 26 shots processed in Registax.
The video is a 20 second clip of the shots in sequence.

That's a good effort Frank, it's a pity it's getting dimmer, could you make it out in binoculars still?

Keith.

Very nice images Frank, thank you.

Persistently cloudy in Dublin, but I'm still hopeful of another opportunity before it fades too much.
