• So at southerly latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere, it'll be a lot harder to catch both the moon and Comet Panstarrs.
• Late winter/early spring evenings also present the best time to see the zodiacal light after dusk, and earthshine on the nighttime side of the waxing crescent moon. You can double your pleasure tonight by catching the young moon and possibly a comet after sunset, and then the zodiacal light after dark (80 to 120 minutes after sunset)! After tonight, the brightening waxing moon may start to obscure the zodiacal light.
• By the way, we hope you'll share your best photo of Comet PANSTARRS with us. Post to EarthSky on Facebook, or email them to images@earthsky.org.
• Bottom line: If blessed with an unobstructed western horizon and clear sky on March 13, 2013, you should catch the waxing crescent moon - and Comet PANSTARRS - in the west after sunset.
