First Look at ISON - a photo on Flickriver

First Look at ISON

            Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) photographed in the (barely,  by two minutes) morning astronomical twilight from the Veen Observatory. I had to wait until it cleared the trees.

I know this isn't a really good image, but I didn't have time to get one. I am planning on getting better images in the future.

This was my first view of this object, but hopefully not the last. Will it live up to its hype? We'll just have to see. 

Comet ISON was the 60th comet I have observed.

(Note: This image was taken through a telescope. I have no idea why the EXIF says it's a 50mm lens. Looks like Canon made 50mm a default if you don't have a lens on the camera body).

(update December 1, 2013: Since ISON has dissipated after its dive around the Sun, this will be the only image I will get, so I guess I have to live with it.)
