Looks good. Encke is bright. Still a nice tail on ISON. Moon’s glare looks like you flipped a flashlight on near the scope. Dave On Oct 21, 2013, at 6:34 AM, Wiggins Patrick <paw@getbeehive.net> wrote:

Kurt posted this over on Jay's forum. Close to ISON and appreciably brighter. Sounds like a better target for imaging at present.

Still awful conditions (Moon, haze, partial obstruction by roof and tree) but here are a couple of shots from a few minutes ago of both comets.
Same equipment (C-14 @ f/5.5, ST-10 binned 3x3, clear filter) and same exposures (six 5" exposures stacked) for each image.
