Have you had a chance to glimpse the Panstarrs Comet this past week? We have been able to see it for a few moments after sunset, for the past several nights.

Last night, while waiting for Son to get off work, I got out of the car to see if I could see it. I had the photographing urge, and fished out the point and shoot from my purse, and the binoculars from the back of the car. I put the camera lens up to the binocular lens, hoping to see the comet through the camera display.

I thought it would be a long shot to even find the comet (aka "needle in a haystack") , but there it was on the camera display! I took a few shots hand-held, with lovely blurry results. (not resembling a comet at all)
