Last Comet ISON Update 12-1-13

Hey Space Placers!

As it stands now Comet ISON will NOT be a sight for all to see in the morning sky. The latest updates show that the comet is fading and in essentially nothing but a dust debris cloud.

It has been described as a "challenge" for astrophotographers to image Comet ISON and "very little or nothing is likely to be visible from Earth" http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/highlights/193909261.html

What a marvelous run this has been for all of us. I can only hope that a comet will be in our future for the northern hemisphere that will be an sight to see.

If there is any significant change or development I will pass it along.

Thanks to all of the astronomers and observers who kept us informed during the Thanksgiving Holiday.
