Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) October 17

[cometcatcher]

This morning was the last chance to get a shot of comet ISON before the big bad moon washes it out. I barely got 9 minutes through hazy sky before the clouds rolled over. Better than nuthin I suppose.

So here we go, 9x1 minute subs at ISO 800, Unmodified Pentax K-x, SW120 f5 achro refractor on a wobbly EQ2, no filters. It's still tiny! :rolleyes:
