ISON is so low to the horizon at twilight from our location (note that all the recent photos have been near the equator) that direct observations are going to be very difficult until probably around December 1st. It doesn't break 0° until 6:30 tomorrow morning, well after nautical twilight. It is only 8° high (less than a fist at arm's length) at sunrise. Unless you know exactly where to look and have some good optics, it's going to be tough. Jared On Sun, Nov 24, 2013 at 10:56 AM, <gazebo4sale@comcast.net> wrote:
Dear UAS It looks like the next several mornings we may get some chances for a few minutes for good, perhaps spactacular viewing of ISON 2013. Clear sky is predicted and the comet should show in the eastern sky before sunrise.
I am wondering since it is low in the sky where you think a good place near the valley to set up and try to get a photo. I am thinking a summit with a view of the eastern sky with the horizon below my feet. Any thoughts say within a 45 minute drive.

Thanks Patrick! Actually, that foreground glow is St. Ansgar, Iowa. Shhhh... don't tell anyone. I like your version better (sunset glow)! Bruce
Nice. I really like the way you composed the shot with the trees and sunset glow in the foreground. patrick
