Comet PANSTARRS and the crescent moon setting by an old mining structure in Death Valley National Park. This was when it first became visible to the left of the moon on March 12. I have more comet photos and a time-lapse video coming soon.

Jeff, I had to expand the size of photo do see on the left on smart phone. What lens did you use?
Thanks
Jim
+James Kuhn I was able to catch the comet at 200mm on a Canon 5D Mark III using the 70 - 200mm f/4.0 IS L lens, but I also tried a Canon 5D Mark II with 24 - 105mm f/4.0 lens at 105mm and f/4, and was unable to pick it up.
wow
really nice crescent position!

I was able to see this comet at the beginning of the month, but have had cloud cover pretty much ever since. Would like to see it again before it's gone though.
