It was captured at Kielder Observatory by observatory director Gary Fildes and volunteer Neil Sanders.

Certainly not putting on the display that we all thought it would this time last year, but a comet is a comet and hopefully we'll all get a chance to chase it down.

would we expect it to be anything more impressive at this point in its journey? I know since it reappeared from behind the sun astronomers have said it is not as bright as expected but surely it won't become the impressive comet we hope for a few months yet? My main concern with ison is its going to appear low in the east at dawn at its most bright and where i live that's the worst possible place it could be in an observing sense . still time to go fingers crossed it won't disappoint.
