How could it have changed so quickly from naked-eye visibility in the southern hemisphere? What am I missing?

I'm pretty sure I've got the computer set right. I'll know that for sure in about 30 minutes when it swings the scope over to ISON. It'll be nice to have you out Wednesday. At least we'll know there will be someone there who can find the comet. Regarding Wednesday, if at all possible I hope we'll have the Grim open so we can take at shot at ISON visually. MPC currently has it a mag 15.3 so it'll be a stretch but it can't hurt to try. patrick On 09 Mar 2013, at 19:29, Chuck Hards wrote:
Patrick, I had to use a 15x70mm bino. No luck naked-eye. No tail even in the binos.

Kudos!
Where are you located?
Could you see it naked eye?
No luck from here in Stansbury using old eyeballs, 10x50s and 11x80s.
