Catching a comet turned out to be – not so easy. This is comet PAN-STARRS, and for us here in the Chicago area that sees about 6 clear nights a year, the odds weren’t too great that I could get an image. This comet appeared on the horizon, just after sunset, and with the clouds on the horizon I had 3 to 4 minutes to see it as clouds passed in front of it.

Perhaps the one due to arrive in November will put on a better show.
