Space.com reports tomorrow will probably be the last day we can see ISON before the Sun's glare will wipe the view out due to ISON's closer proximity with the Sun.
Thanks.

1. Comet expert John Bortle has become more optimistic about Comet Ison's survival prospects. He also estimates its brightness as 4.0 as at 21 Nov. See:
http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/ ... 5/o/o/vc/1
2. Check out this image of Comet Ison taken on 21 Nov 2013. The comet's tail is really impressive, at least in processed images taken at dark sky sites:
http://www.astrostudio.at/2_Bright%20Co ... 51ab33ea3d
3. Finally, don't forget to track and watch up to date satellite images of Comet Ison's approach and rounding of the Sun:
eg, the SOHO LASCO C3 images from Wed Nov 27 to Sat Nov 30th:
http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime/c3/512/

Let's pray that the comet survives!
