Hey Patrick, I'm probably missing something really basic here (wouldn't be the first time), but I'm confused by what seem to be conflicting reports about the whereabouts of ISON over the next few days. The spaceweather post you link to below says the comet will next be visible in evening skies, while a link to Sky and Tel in today's APOD http://www.skyandtelescope.com/letsgo/whatsuptonight/233643231.html suggests it will again be a predawn object. Is one of these articles written for the southern hemisphere or something? ~Kelly

Cancel the funeral. Comet ISON is back from the dead. Yesterday, Nov. 28th, Comet ISON flew through the sun's atmosphere and appeared to disintegrate before the cameras of several NASA and ESA spacecraft. This prompted reports of the comet's demise. Today, the comet has revived and is rapidly brightening. Visit http://spaceweather.com for images and updates.
Kelly; Patrick's still asleep in his coffin. For a few days, ISON will be both an evening and morning object due to favorable geometry. It will then be a morning object for a couple of weeks, eventually becoming circumpolar as it receeds from the sun, and visible all night. The big caveat is if there is anything left to see. I was unsuccessful trying to spot it last night before, and shortly after sunset. On Sat, Nov 30, 2013 at 6:41 AM, Kelly Ricks <kellyalenericks@gmail.com>wrote:
