Please feel free to share. Fullscreen view recommended for best quality.
Comet C/2014 Q1 PANSTARRS and the Crescent Moon. 18/07/2015 Southern NSW, Australia. Canon 6D and 70-300mm Lens at around about 150mm. ISO 800, F/4, single 30 second exposure. Tracked via an NEQ6 Pro Mount.
This lovely little comet is currently putting on a nice display low down in the west just after sunset for Southern Hemisphere observers. Last night the crescent Moon had a close encounter with the comet and I just had to drag my telescope mount out to try and capture it.
