SDO Views Comet ISON

SDO Views Comet ISON

On November 28, 2013, the SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) spacecraft will off-point at three different positions as Comet ISON moves through perihelion. This website will display near realtime images and movies of this sungrazing comet. Images should begin appearing sometime between 12:45 pm and 1:00 pm ET.

Images from SDO take about 6 minutes to move from the spacecraft to our computer at Goddard. We plan to off-point at 17:30 UTC (12:30 pm ET) and return to normal solar observing at 20:45 UTC (3:45 pm ET). We will begin posting images after SDO completes the first repointing maneuver and we obtain and process the data. Images should begin appearing sometime between 12:45 pm and 1:00 pm ET.

Still not seen the damned thing bloody house opposite seems to block
 I no I am looking in the right direction..... 

Also havent seen ISON with my own eyes yet. I plan on going out to make pics, if it survives the perihelion and gets close to earth around christmas. Dont know if it will be visible in this part of the world, and the sky has to be clear ofcourse. Till then I just follow it online. I read that tomorrow 27th ISON will become visible on LASCO3 satelite.   :
