Comet! Panstarrs!

I took this at 1am.
I didn't think I could see the comet, but dammit, it was there!
This was with a wide angle zoom, but if I had known it was there, I could have used my 200mm with 1.7 converter. ( So this is a very small part of the image - blown up beyond any sensible magnification )
OR, even better, stuck my camera onto my new 10" telescope!

So here it is, probably the only shot I will have of this Comet before it blasts off into infinity.

I can only hope that comet ISON is better later this year.

The fuzzy blob is the Andromeda Galaxy, and Comet Panstarrs is the fuzzy thing in the trees.
