C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) is a non-periodic comet discovered in June 2011 using the Pan-STARRS telescope located near the summit of Haleakalā, on the island of Maui in Hawaii. It became visible to the naked eye when it was near perihelion in March 2013. This 3 panel mosaic shows the comet C/2011 L4 (Panstarrs) at the Andromeda Galaxy on April 4th 2013 . Due to the very low altitude, only one 60 sec. RGB set was possible.
