Details:
Two images of comet ISON this morning, one a full 50mm F/1.8 frame and the other a crop. Comet showed a tail during the earlier capture and a nice fuzzy stellar form in the later image in twilight. ISON easily visible in 10x25mm binos and in the 8" it looked great with a large bright disk-like central condensation and sharp blue coma wrapped around the disk, D.C: 8 with a dia of 3'. Blue gas tail also visible to the SW. I suspect that had the sky been darker our more transparent I would have seen it easily with the naked eye!
