Explanation:
Still looking for that comet?
Comet PanSTARRS (C/2011 L4) naked-eye appearance in the northern hemisphere
is described by
successful
comet spotters
as a dim star with faint a tail.
If you want to catch it the next few days could be your best bet.
Start
looking low and almost due west about 45 minutes after sunset.
Of course, clear skies and a pair of binoculars should help a lot.
Sky photographer Jean-Luc Dauvergne found suitable weather and
western horizon for this comet and crescent Moon portrait
after a road trip on March 13.
Seeing PanSTARRS for the first time, he recorded
the beautiful twilight scene with a telephoto lens
near historical
Alesia in France.
