PhotographerRalph HartwellLocationNatchitoches, Louisiana USADate2013-03-12 19:19EquipmentTripod mounted Nikon D80, 4 second exposure, f5.6, 135mm, ISO 1600, White Balance 5000k. Image lightly processed in Photoimpact for contrast enhancement.DescriptionThis was the first clear evening we had in two weeks, so we took a trip to a nearby lake where we had a good view of the western horizon. Although not easily visible to the naked eye, the comet was an easy and beautiful sight through binoculars. I was impressed by the brightness of the nucleus. There was considerable haze and smoke, which dimmed the view of the new moon and PanSTARRS considerably. |

PhotographerMike BoyleLocationDown Town TampaDateMarch 15, 2013 08:20pmEquipmentCanon T4i with 250mm Lens 1/4 second exposure. 2 photos stacked.DescriptionI work nights in downtown Tampa. So, I went comet hunting during my lunch hour. I forgot my binoculars. But I tried anyway! I could not see the tiny comet with my naked eye or in the view finder of the camera. So I took several photos sweeping the sky of about where I though it would be! I got lucky didn't I? |
