I got a look at Comet Pan-STARRS tonight through binoculars....
It is a nice sight - it is always amazing to see comets, with their fuzzy tail, sitting stationary in the sky - I got a good look at it at dusk - the moon was quite a bit higher in the sky than the comet, which was much closer to the horizon, beneath and a little to the left of the moon. There was still too much twilight to see it without the binocs.
We will be at the beach this weekend and I hope, with the perfect view of the horizon, I can get a few pics of it.....

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
