Description

Still digging out of the record setting snowfall in the Eastern Sierra Mts, California, USA.  Not much to show for my efforts except some huge snow shoveling muscles...

Presented here is a wide field 3.3 x 2.1 degree field showing the faint 12.3 magnitude comet, C/2019 U5 (Pan-STARRS).  Perihelion was about two weeks earlier with the comet's distance of 3.6 AU from the sun and still holding.  Distance to the earth at the time of this image (04-13-2023), was 2.7 AU and increasing.

Inverted and annotated images are included as revisions.
