I was almost ready to give up on Panstarrs but this Comet has really preformed especially with the images I've seen posted on Spaceweather and other Comet Forums.

I decided to try and see if I could see the Comet from the city lights of Tampa yesterday morning and I was pleasantly surprised to still be able to see the Comet in the ep of my 8" scope shocked

This image isn't the best but maybe I can do better if the Comet remains bright enough in the next week or so.  I usually don't try for any over about 7 mag.



The tail has  really surprised me.  In the image above the tail stretches down and beyond the frame which is 14'19".
