Comet ISON - Sat 9 Nov 2013

[MarkS]

Here is Comet ISON C/2012 S1 this morning at around 5am:



Canon 400D on Celestron C11 with 0.8x TSSCKorr2 reducer/flattener.  80 exposures of 20sec at ISO 800.

This might be my final attempt this side of the sun because now it gets lower in the dawn sky and the weather looks bad, then the moon gets in the way.

Looking pretty good there. Tried catching comet 2013 R1 (Lovejoy) yet?
