I was hoping for a cooler image of the Bowling Green skyline, but the commet was setting a little north of 270ยบ (due West) and ended up over the roof of the Perry Field House.

C/2011 L4 (Pan-STARRS) low on the horizon, March 14, 2013
You gotta take advantage of every clear night you get! Even though I had just gotten some much cooler shots of PanSTARRS with the moon the night before, I saw the weather clearing up and headed to the hill on Forrest Creason Golf Course in time to see the comet setting over the BGSU campus.

Over the next few weeks the comet will fade, while at the same time staying visible in the sky longer after sunset - so it's sort of a trade off. Hopefully I'll get a couple more chances to photograph it higher in the sky with a brighter tail.
