It's a stacked image of 4 15" exposures. Unfortunate that the Moon and haze conspired against me but it's nice to see that there's something there to work with once the Moon and haze go away. I also tried to spot it visually. Using a C-5 I *think* there was something there but I can't say for sure. Looking forward to moonless skies, patrick On 19 Oct 2013, at 07:20, Dave Gary wrote:
What was the exposure time on that shot? I tried to see ISON, visually, this morning. No go. Moon is too bright. I was too lazy to hook up the SBIG camera. Nice shot, by the way. ISON does have a nice tail.

I was finally able to image ISON this morning. But between my roof and the neighbor's tree I could only get partial aperture. Glaring Moon and haze did not help, really washing it out.
But what I did get shows it is sporting a nice tail. Certainly better than most comets.
