Comet ISON Brighter

11/16/2013

I observed Comet ISON this morning and it is indeed brighter after it's outburst a few days ago. It is still rather faint, maybe magnitude 6 or 7, but can be seen in binoculars now.  Still a ways to go before naked eye visibility but its nice to see this comet finally producing. Viewing conditions were tight as a nearly full moon was illuminating the western sky, but steadily setting, and I was racing against the impending dawn. There was about a half hour sweet spot where the moon was low enough to not be a factor but before twilight really got started. I was able to snap a picture and shoot some video with the StarSplitter. Enjoy!

    I have been excited about space since I was young, and have been involved in astronomy for over 20 years. I have built 4 of my own telescopes and continue to design and experiment with new instruments and accessories.
