Title

Object/Date: Comet C/2013 X1 (PANSTARRS) @ May.11,2016 Description: Comet C/2013 X1 (PANSTARRS) imaged on May 11 2016, in spite of bad weather when I took the image with high humidity and poor transparency, is possible see its two tails: the dust tail toward up left with more than half degree, and the ion tail toward down right which showing several jets in its begining, and although faint is prolonged al least a pair of degrees until the bright star Phi Aquarii with magnitude 4. The comet has a brightness of magnitude 7 and will be increasing next days because is approaching to Earth. Tech data: Takahashi FSQ ED 106mm. f/5.0 & SBIG STL-11000M (L:4×240s bin1 + RGB:1x60s Bin2, cropped) remotely from Siding Spring, NSW (Australia)
