I don’t worry about it too much. The exposure time is, generally, quite short. Guiding is not a problem. The exposures I took on the 8th (here’s the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/78046474@N06/sets/72157637445620054/ ) were unguided. I guess if you really wanted to take some long exposures you could guide directly on the comet if you could see it in your guiding setup. I use PHD for guiding.

Has anyone here actually seen ISON recently?
If I'm reading the charts correctly it looks like tomorrow morning in northern Utah ISON will be about 21 degrees up in the SE at the beginning of nautical twilight (0612) and about 26 degrees at the beginning of civil twilight (0645).
Of course weather in northern Utah is forecast to be cloudy in the morning.
NWS is calling for clearing Monday morning. By then ISON will be 16 degrees at nautical and 20 degrees by civil.
Here's an ISON story NASA released today: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/14nov_whatsnext/
