The skies have finally cleared here after a week of storms. I think I have some nice big sucker holes to work with so I'll be taking a drive down the road to a flat horizon in about an hour an half (nearly 2am here, yikes, I should be napping lol).
Hope you spotted it Suzy. I just went out (3.30 and again at 4) without success. It's only about 10-12 degrees up at the moment and ISON is on the edge of the morning mist and general eastern-sky gunge. I'll try again on Monday morning when the comet and Spica should both be in the same FOV of my 10x50s at about 4 a.m..
