I can't seem to make anything better by stacking or arranging photos. But it is interesting to see how much this thing moves. I put up a (bad) photo that shows ISON in two spots over a 32 minute period. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/QwK8n6XMIvfHXEN3zXd4w96uuN3FAlh2ZQMTGS...

I saw it! Perfect morning for it. I used Stellarium to help me find it. I saw very faint nebulosity at 69x right where it should have been (Meade 10" SCT 36mm 2" eyepiece). So I put my Nikon DSLR (D7000) on the telescope and got a few images. None of which are very compelling. Here's one: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/O8oNarfyfZAixnUpw_Rbft6uuN3FAlh2ZQMTGS...
(single image, 15 seconds, ISO 12,800, adjusted RAW image in Lightroom) If you use your imagination you can just make out the ghostly greenness just right of center.
I'm going to try and stack a few to see what happens. What surprised me is how long the tail appeared.
There is a little asterism of three stars above 37 Leo that pointed the way to ISON this morning. See this stellarium screen shot: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/9qLi_U5b7ynEFkr87kEJc96uuN3FAlh2ZQMTGS...
I think I need a t-shirt: "I saw comet ISON 2013"
