on a cloudy day.
Some random shots around the light rail station at University Dr/Rural Rd.

Water.

All wet. At the fountain in downtown Tempe.

Even more Panstarrs.

Since the next approach is in 100,000 years here's another view from somewhere out in the boonies LOL. Picture taken with a higher ISO so it's noisy but brings out the comet better.

Here's the location of the comet in our solar system.
From Heavens-Above.com the view from above ecliptic plane and view above comet orbital plane.

Panstarrs again.

Went out again to see if I can get a better picture of the comet with the moon and it turned out pretty cool.

Left image: Panstarrs halfway between the middle light and the top border.

And some higher magnification...

Sneakers among stars.

So I tried to have a shot at the Panstarrs comet, but the light pollution from the city didn't make it easy. The sneakers came out nicely though (shot with 50mm prime). The three lined up stars (Orion's belt) are from the Orion constellation.
