Being Mooned

Picture of the moonWeather in northern Germany is still a catastrophe for any attempt at astronomical observations, so AstroKat teases me with a seeing of 6+ where she lives. At least she sends me a picture of the moon…Meanwhile, some work with Starry Night has established that comet Pan-STARRS C/2011 L4 will be visible near my home around nightfall, and still be completely above the western horizon by March 10, so with the hope of usable weather, I am looking forward to that. Pictures, if I can take them, will be forthcoming.
