Comet C\2014 Q1 Panstarrs together with Venus, Jupiter and the moon


Recommended Posts

During my stay at Kiripotib astrofarm in Namibia, I learned about this comet on the day it would become visible right after sunset. Very excited I setup my camera and timelapse and luckily we had quite clear horizons that day and I was able to capture the comet. The conjunction together with Venus and Jupiter made it very special. 

The next 2 days the moon would join 'the club' and made for an even more spectacular image. After these 3 days the horizon was not clear anymore and even clouds came the last days of my stay. 

First day:

And a more close up look at 200mm and a stack of 6 images or so (wish I'd had shot more! )
