It is reported the tail is 7 degrees now, the question is how much of it survives as it passes the sun.
Chuck - if that link doesn't work you're not missing much - just a green blob below Spica. I was convinced ISON would be invisible now, with the clouds and moon and being so low in the sky as it starts to lighten. I was pleasantly surprised to see it in the photos right where it should be. This makes me want to try to find a place with a clear view of a flat eastern horizon to see how it looks earlier in the morning. (Is there such a place within an hour or two of the Salt Lake valley?) The last time I saw it with my eyeball it was pretty vague. All this talk of 6x brightness, ISON wakes up, etc. makes me want to have another go before it plunges to the sun. Dion

Dion, when I click on the link I keep getting 500 Internal Server Error.
I'll try again from home later this afternoon.

I couldn't see ISON visually, but my camera picked it up shortly after it rose over the mountains from my house in Sandy. http://goo.gl/CDC0u9

I tried for ISON again from work, with a clearing in that direction, still no luck. ISON is practically right on top of Spica this morning and is lost in the bright star's glow.
Impenetrable clouds in the direction of Lovejoy, from here.
