On the evening of March 11, 2013, Comet PanSTARRS was captured in a time lapse sequence as it set over the Dos Cabezas Mountains. The photos where taken from San Simon, AZ using a Nikon D90 and Nikkor 18-200 VR zoom lens at 200mm. All exposures were 2 seconds at F/5.6 (ISO 800) with a 1 second gap between exposures. The sequence was edited in Photoshop and assembled into a movie using QuickTime Pro.
