Comet ISON was burdened with unrealistic expectations early on, due to its relatively high brightness early on. However, this being its first approach to the sun, more volitile gasses burned off early, leaving a less volitile (and relatively less bright) core as it approaches the sun and Earth. Still, it is a nice show right now at about magnitude 7. This is a stack of 8 images taken at 2350mm and f/10 with the Canon 6D at ISO 12800, totalling 4 minutes of exposure time. A single layer was applied to the image to leave round stars rather than streaks.
