Panstarrs Above the Farm - a photo on Flickriver

Comet C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) floats in the twilight sky over the farm buildings in the West Michigan countryside.

I did manage to see it naked-eye, but had to see where it was on the image so I could look int he right place in the sky. You need to be away from city lights and wait until deep twilight, as it is near the limit of visibility.

This time it was just as cold out with the wind. Stupid wind. :)
