Hi Joe, I don't think the tail is actually disappearing. Rather, as was mentioned here earlier, any clouds, even the thin ones you can't see, mess with the tail's visibility. We saw that at SPOC last evening. So I'm guessing the tail is there, it's just the seeing conditions that make it appear to disappear from time to time. patrick p.s. Looking to the west from here near SPOC the skies continue to be very clear. Looking good for comet viewing tonight. Y'all come!

But I'm beginning to worry that ISON will be another fizzle, since the tail that showed in his earlier pics seems to have disappeared. -- Joe
