This might be my last shot. I'm losing it in the trees and to the brightening sky.

SW120mm f5 refractor, Hoya K2 yellow filter, Pentax K-x, 10x5 second exposures at ISO 200 through high level cloud. The closest star to the lower left is magnitude 7.

Good the cloud has cleared up for you, nice parting shot

Glad you caught it. The sky was clear so I went for a drive to see if I could track it down with the 7x50's. With the near Full Moon and twilight, Ison will remain the one that got away.

Just after this shot was taken I tried with 7x50 binos and saw nothing!
