Panstarrs, Comet

I just saw Comet Pannstars in 10x50 binos from 36°50'N. I had to walk a 1/4 mile east to get a better angle with our neighborhood trees, but I found it.

The comet is at the same altitude as the very thin crescent Moon and about 5 to 8 (IIRC) Moon diameters to the south. It is not as bright as Jupiter but it's at least as bright as most of the stars currently visible. I also saw a short tail, maybe on half of a Moon diameter.

Finally observed it tonight. Below the lunar crescent and slightly north. Very impressive , round with a distinctive tail. Observed with Canon IS 15x50. Should have a few more clear nights here in North Texas

Auto focus gave me fits and bad focus. Crescent and Comet over the Urban Jungle of Long Beach, CA.

Saw it Tuesday and Wednesday night, not too hard, but short duration for viewing it. I actually saw it naked eye on Tuesday night, then wih Binoculars on both nights.
