As for comet ISON, the anticipation caused more excitement than the  actual 
viewing.  It was visible in the 12.5" as a dim elongated  object.  It was 
equally difficult in a nearby 18" dob - but visible!   It'll be interesting 
to watch the comet as it approaches the Sun and brightens  in the coming 
weeks.  It still has a long way to go before becoming  "great".



Hi Pierre --
 
Can you provide an estimate (or even a "guesstimate") of how bright  ISON 
appeared to you? 
What would you have assigned it so far a total magnitude was  concerned?
 
Many thanks!
