Description

Image of the comet C/2012 K1 PANSTARRS on February 27 in which is registered a great evolution since my last image taken on 2th. Its brightness has increased from 12.5 until 11.5 magnitude aproximately, meanwhile the coma only has increased a bit over 1' diameter with a white-greenish color. On the other hand seems that the comet is developing a very short tail toward southeast. The object at right border of the image is the spiral barred galaxy NGC 6181.
