This past week the Panstarrs comet came in to view here in the Northern Hemisphere and I was lucky enough to get out to photograph it. Some friends of mine and I headed up to the Foothills Parkway and got pictures of it from the Look Rock fire tower. The comet itself was very faint and would have been impossible to find unassisted. There is, however, another comet that is supposed to pass by earth this fall that should be visible easily with the naked eye… so I would expect to see another comet on POTW later this year! 🙂
