A more Tumblr-friendly version of my photos from going out to see Comet Pan-STARRS on Tuesday evening.  I went to a hillside park to get above the fog layer, and ran into a bunch of other people with binoculars, telescopes and more. Read on if you’re interested, or just enjoy the photos!

Comet Pan-STARRS and the Moon

Moon and Comet

On Tuesday I drove up to a hillside park to get above the clouds and look for the comet.
