~The Comet and The Moon~

~Comet Pan-Starrs and The Waxing Crescent Moon At Sunset~

Well I managed to capture this moment in astronomical history. I was very fortunate to get the earthshine on the dark section of the crescent moon as a bonus in this image. The 800 iso didn't help and in fact it made post-processing dang difficult. This photograph is not what I would classify as an artistic image, but it is a nice photograph I think. For those of you that missed this event I hope my photograph gives you some enjoyment, the spectacle in tonight Arizona western sky.

Thanks for looking in, TucsonJim ;o)
