Comet PanSTARRS... nowhere to be found!

Comet PanSTARRS (C/2011 L4) is in this image, but it's still a day or two too early to be visible. I've always urged caution when setting people's expectations regarding comets and this one was no exception.

 

Just today, I read news articles that suggested the comet would be "spectacular" tonight. I would have loved to have spotted it, but my expectations were a bit more reality based. ;-)

 

In the meantime, I got a really nice sunset photo to add to my collection. (30 second time exposure to smooth out the water on the lake.)
