This morning with a 10x25 bino I thought I could detect a small coma in the charted position of ISON, but couldn't be sure so I'm calling it unobserved. Lovejoy was a faint smudge, barely observable even though much higher.
I did not try for ISON this morning. I'm going to wait until after perihelion for it to become the comet of the century. :) Lovejoy was easy this morning in a 10x40 finder. Tiny hint of a stubby tail in 10x50 binoculars. patrick On 25 Nov 2013, at 06:18, Chuck Hards wrote:

I certainly hope it's not the comet of the century. The century has barely started. Gotta be better ones yet to come. After perihelion: POOF! On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 1:12 PM, Wiggins Patrick <paw@getbeehive.net> wrote:

But I saw an animation on local tv showing ISON would be big and bright with a huge tail so it must be so... :)
