Astronomy magazine image contributor Babak Tafreshi captured this delicate shot of Comet PANSTARRS on March 12. He said, "We had some clouds at the horizon this evening from the observatory on La Palma, and it was quite challenging to find the comet and the very thin new moon (distorted at the horizon), so I'm happy with this lucky result. It was amazing that at that moment I had a passing astronomer car below the William Herschel Telescope which softly illuminated the dome!"
