The sky was clear in Green Bank, WV this evening. This is a photo of the PanSTARRS comet over the NRAO's GBT (Green Bank Telescope). More info on the GBT can be found here https://science.nrao.edu/facilities/gbt/.

My son and I observing Comet PanSTARRS from the top of a sand dune on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA on the evening of March 13, 2013. The image was taken with a remote camera trigger while we walked up to the top of the dune. A wonderful experience to share with him!

Comet PANSTARRS surfing the mountains and low level clouds above the foothills of Boulder, Colorado. Turned out to be a wonderful viewing of the comet!
Similar video from the previous night, March 13, 2013.

Re: Submission Gallery: 2013 Comets
Here's a rather different view of the comet. Using the 1.2 day Moon, I subtracted the twilight colors from an image of the comet (acquired through a Celestron C11/Hyperstar3. The negative shows some faint striations in the ion tail. Enjoy!

Comet C/2011 L4 PANSTARRS by ejwwest, on Flickr
.
Comet C/2011 L4 PANSTARRS.
Taken in Chandlers Ford Hampshire on 13th March 2012 1915 UTC. Canon 40D 50mm lens f1.4 1 second at ISO 800. Very low down in the twilight haze
Possible fragment splitting from PanStarrs nucleus
Yesterday evening I focused on PanStarrs nucleus and coma rather than on it's tail, so I exposed not to saturate the nucleus and on 4-5 sequences there seems to be a fragment splitting from the nucleus visible bellow the coma.
This image was taken starting at 18:08:39 UT on the 15th of March and is a little more than 5 minutes of total exposure through a 10" (250 mm) Newton telescope.
The second image is sharpened and contrast enhanced. The colorfull third image is a frequency modulation that further enhances the local contrast and shows the possible fragment as a dark dot.
There seems to be 2 tails separated by a darker lane.
There was also a wing of an airplane passing through the tiny field of view (13' x 18'), leaving a trail and some star-shaped flashes.
I hope that this possible fragment can be confirmed soon.

Comet C/2011 L4 (PanSTARRS) can be seen above the trees in the photograph taken on March 13, 2013. I cannot underestimate the importance of using a compass while looking for the comet. These twilight photos are really making me step outside my comfort zone when it comes to astrophotography. I am used to "star-hopping" to compose most of my night photographs. I feel like every day I photograph this comet, I am learning something new!
