ISON Viewing
Comet ISON is rapidly moving lower and lower in the eastern horizon on it's way to a rendezvous with the Sun on Thanksgiving day. If you want to catch a glimpse of ISON the comet should be visible to the naked eye (and certainly in binoculars) during the early part of this week. Head out about an hour before sunrise and look toward the east-southest. As the week goes on ISON gets lower and lower in the sky. Check out the video on SkyAndTelescope.com for some tips on when and where to look. Here's a finder chart for locating ISON early Tuesday through Thursday mornings, November 19-21, at about 5:30 AM.
