Comet ISON Latest (in general)

I came across this site with updates and future info about ISON:

www.isoncampaign.org/

which you may find useful.

You can also keep the rest of us updated with your observations, or simply add your own thread in our Observing Reports forum.

There is some conflicting views on the matter but it has been suggested that ISON has already started breaking up, for its magnitude seems to have plateaued and which suggests break-up is imminent or has already started.

I just got a look at it this morning in a 12" dob, was low and cloud coming up fast.

Was no more than a fuzz not far from Mars, I held both in the field of view on low power.

Speaking with other early risers this morning seems to be same story.

Nick Howes is saying its not broken, he has a "Hubble sized Scope" pointed at it for the last few days

Here is a handy simulator of ISON's path:

You can use the slider (along the bottom of the screen across the months) to see what's happening day by day, or ply it through as a quick movie.
