Title

C/2011 L4 Pan-STARRS on April 3rd 2013 at the Giant's Causeway on the north coast of N. Ireland just as astronomical twilight was merging into darkness. M31 and comet together, I did a selfie on the 50 million year old basalt rocks. Taken with 50mm F/1.8 lens. I enjoyed this comet very much, it was beautiful, just need one of his larger brethren now.
