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!
