Comet C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS)

[Lennart Hyland]

We've had rain and cloudy skies til today, so tonight I'll have my first try at comet hunting.
Raging auroras?
I'm green with envy. I've only seen an aurora once- a sight I'll never forget.

Its so magic But it seems like the chance of seeing it tonight is low:

Finally saw it! Kind of chilly and had to wait until it was getting close to really dark, very nice binocular object. Bigger than I expected.

I almost went out last night to try again. There was a break in the clouds, but it was freezing. It was even snowing this morning though not sticking.
