C/2011 L4 Panstarrs - 16 March 2013

I managed to see Comet C/2011 L4 (Panstarrs) again today (16 March 2013)
after a spell of bad weather over Malta. The comet was easier to find than
when observed last on Monday 11 March, since it is now farther away from
the Sun and at a higher altitude.

It was also a clear naked eye object and once found in binoculars (10x50)
it could be made out quite easily with the naked eye. The crescent Moon is
now increasing in brightness although it will be farther away from the
comet as well.

Temperature: 13 degrees
Wind: Force 4 NW
