Wide field Panstarrs

[Ron]

I wasn't going to try for any more Panstarrs images but after seeing several wide field views  posted on Spaceweather I thought I would give it a try to see what I could get.   Needless to say it was the same day I was plagued with problems trying to shoot the Sun.

After several failed alignments I was about ready to give up but wanted to try before it got daylight.  My original plan was to try for a 30 minute 270 or 300mm @30 second subs but couldn't get a focus so I settled for a 70mm shot.  I acquired 28 frames and stacked them in DSS but could not find a hint of a Comet

Today I thought I would give my final image another try in editing and give it a shot of high pass filter.  What a surprise, I found a very faint hint of a fuzzy in this cropped image exactly where Panstarrs was supposed to be located according to my SNPP.  Using averted vision I can detect a long fuzzy tail pointing downward.



The image is pretty cruddy but I just might try again

Can anybody else see it or is it just my imagination
