Description

Looking from the Westside of Santa Cruz, CA, comet PanStarrs and the crescent moon.It was only barely visible to the unaided eye, and seen better in binoculars. But it is a far cry from comet McNaught in January 2007 from the same location. PanStarrs is much dimmer and really requires binoculars to easly observe.
