Observation of Comet Pan-STARRS (16-3-2013)

The 0.2 magnitude comet began to leave the sun since its perihelion on 10-3-2013. We attempted to catch it in sunset at about 5 degrees from the horizon at Victoria Peak Park, but unsurprisingly the hazy sky made this an impossible feast. However, we all received consolation prizes in the form of sunspots, Jupiter, a crescent moon and earthshine.
