Comet ISON - A final collection of images 
December 1, 2013

 
 As
            the comet did not survive its all to close perihelion passage,
            I am posting this final image of the comet, a collection of some
            representive color shots taken over the period it was visible
            all at the same scale and orientation. Most were taken with the
            12.5" newtonian, but the last two were with the 80mm f/4.4
            Stellarvue/Ziess APO and are scaled accordingly.
