![]() Over the next week these ISON sky charts will help you find the comet while it is still visible in November. Most people interested in Comet ISON want to know where it is, what time it will be there, if they will be able to see it with their naked eye and what it will look like. Where is Comet ISON in November 2013 and what time will Comet ISON be visible in November 2013? For power users, I have posted this information below. You will have to follow some special instructions to get comet ISON to show up in Stellarium. Stellarium is a free planetarium software program that you can use to model the sky and solar system at your location. These ISON sky charts were created using the program Stellarium. Here is some information to help you observe comet ISON in November and December 2013. If this happens it will be a spectacular sight potentially stretching across half of the sky. At some point in December, if the comet survives passage around the sun, we will start to be able to see it again in the western sky at and after dusk. At this point the comet will only be viewable by NASA and ESA space based telescopes, but don’t worry several of them will be pointed at ISON while it grazes the sun. ![]() We will then have to take a break while the comet goes around the sun. For the next week or so of November, ISON will be visible right before dawn on the horizon in the south east. Moving forward my efforts will be focused on DSLR photography of comet ISON. The window of opportunity to catch ISON in darkness from my California observatory, while the comet is still above the 15 degree viewing threshold, is almost over. ![]() Due to clouds and high humidity I have not been able to observe Comet ISON the last two days. ![]()
