Comet PanSTARRS

Congratulations to Ewan Miles for succeeding where The Diary has failed, and thanks too for allowing The Diary to publish his picture of Comet PanSTARRS over Ardnamurchan.  The view is from Mull, where Ewan is a wildlife guide with Sea Life Surveys, and the comet is at centre left.

This is a slightly enhanced close-up of the picture.

The picture was taken over the Easter weekend.  The Diary needs to go out and have another go at this....

Ewan's website is here.
