On CBC they were talking about a telescope that is specifically aimed at the sun for other research that will be broadcasting the comet as it passes by/gets destroyed, but I missed the URL. Does anyone here know?
Early December should be the best time to see Comet ISON, assuming it has survived its close pass near the sun intact. The comet will be visible in the morning sky before sunrise at its brightest.
Later in December, it’ll appear in both the morning and evening sky (because it will have traveled so far north on the sky’s dome that it will become circumpolar). However, don’t wait until late December, for ISON to appear in the evening sky. As ISON’s distance from the sun increases, it’ll grow dimmer.

Here's the SOHO image that has scientists worried (pointy head=maybe no more nucleus). #ISON #willitbreakup pic.twitter.com/qU7zocvF2j
I think the whole thing was pretty cool... It's too bad it disintegrated in the end, but some of the images of the comets entry were amazing. It's not every day we get to view a comet burn up. That thing was moving sooo fast too.
Everything space related always ends up being a disappointment.
Except for solar eclipses. Those are the bees knees.
You have CLEARLY not explored all the incredibly cool stuff space has to offer. The comet itself was anything but a disappointment, if you had the chance to look at it. It was awesome.
