Hi All

Comet PanSTARRS is now visible in the northern hemisphere hope to get some pictures but the weather has not been kind so far.

Hey wmd_2008, an absolutely beautiful video (and great music, too, by the way)!

Thanks for putting this up, and I of course also keep my fingers crossed that the weather will be a bit better soon, so that you can capture it with your own equipment as well.

S+F!

Naked eye visible? What direction should I look?

I read somewhere its west, at the moment the comets are only visible in the twilight hours of sunset.. (atleast thats what I heard about 4 days ago) but when i went looking.. i didnt see them!

Nice pic, so it's one of the green ones coming around this year?

Here you go, in the west just after sunset may need binoculars to find it.

Vimeo has lots of nice videos like that and another good place to look is The World at Night

Cool vid !

I am a little confused though, as the comments on the same video(below vid)
are dated 2 and 3 weeks ago.
When are/were Comets Lemmon and PanSTARRS to pass?
Are we able to view them for long periods of time? (don't know,just asking)


Well had I looked further I could have answered my own questions
Great maybe I can catch a glimps of something other than metorites.

Thanks for posting this thread very much appreciated
