Comet ISON has now reached magnitude 9.1 and can now be seen in amateur telescopes. However, the moon is nearly full and the weather in Provence is, to say the least, not up to its reputation!. This morning (22.10.2013) at 5h52 LT I got a half a decent window in the clouds to take this 180s single shot.
The tail of ISON is already enormous and what is seen in this shot covers about half an arc degree. In 2 weeks during the new moon the sight should be interesting if only the weather would behave for a change!
C11-HD at F10 and STXL bin3x3 both for imaging and auto guiding. Auto guiding did withstand the high winds but just!
