I note from Luminos that both bodies will be in Hercules tomorrow morning. This is for 5.20am,

I'm doubtful if it will be clear hear - even if I can get up....

[Digz]

Managed  to grab a quick peek at lovejoy this morning with the 10x50s

Managed the 200 Dob this morning, waited until last of the cloud had gone. At the top of the garden looking north, Vega and Cygnus.

Got a lovely Lovejoy just down between the base stars of Hercules. Even with the full Moon setting it was stunning to get the whole tail at x48 and a wonderfully bright core at x80 widefield 82 degrees ep.

Had a cheeky preview of Lovejoy at 6:30 this morning with the 10x50's I'm not supposed to be using yet till Xmas. Unmistakable object and still swooshing its way through Hercules toward Sarin (delta Herculis). Great to see it again and wondering if its my last chance before perihelion. I'm assuming this is still 25 December at 6 am.......now who would be up that time of day?!!!!

Nick, is there something of ISON left to actually spot?

[cotterless45]

No ! afraid that despite the fanfares, magazine articles and tv programmes , it's r.i.p.

Nick.
