Comet PanSTARRS (C/2011 L4) during its conjunction with M31.
Composite of multiple exposures and stacked together. The image shows the conjunction in the sky just after sunset.
(Armagh , 65km S-E of Québec city , Canada)
Before sunrise , the clouds rolled-on Anyway , I photographed the conjunction for a souvenir Canon 1D Mark III , iso 800 , 200mm f4 , 114 sec.
"There is Nothing Permanent Except Change" - Heraclitus. Comet C/2011 L4 (PanSTARRS) was photographed on March 12th, 13th, 19th, 21st as well as April 1st and 3rd as it continued its nightly travel across the western horizon. It was really interesting to observe the orbital dynamics of the comet and watch the tail change orientation each evening.
