Comet PanStarrs is now becoming fainter as it recedes from Earth. It is rapidly rising in the early morning sky and can be observed at about 1:30am in the constellation Cassiopeia. The core and faint tail can be seen in this image taken from Vancouver, in the early morning April 16, 2013,
with a 400mm lens and a Canon 300d camera. I combined 20 15sec images using Deep Sky Stacker.
