Been cloudy for days but saw it easily through a light haze and moonlight 11/19 but got up early this mornoingg to try to image it with a clear sky and it's gone- couldn't find it in binoculers at all (and scope had all this camera stuff hooked up ). Did it run out of dust?? LOL
What happened to Ison?

We saw it at ~5:25 am this morning. Very bright in 15x50 binoculars with a short, narrow, bright tail. Not visible by eye, but it was down in the muck a bit. It certainly hasn't vanished.
Comet Lovejoy was visible by eye, and lovely through binoculars. Very well placed high in the east to the right of the Bear's tail.
I just heard that C/2013 V3 Nevski is now bright enough to see in binoculars. Also conveniently placed near Regulus.
Clear skies, Alan
