I created an ISON approach video

[william-kowalczyk]

SDO has been off pointed for the approach. New images coming down.

[william-kowalczyk]

Not seeing ISON in SDO

[Guest]

Something has rounded the sun! Possibly whatever is left of ISON???? Look to the upper left.

[william-kowalczyk]

Well MG...

Looks like the scientific community walked back their assessment of...ISON is just a bunch of rubble . I can see how they thought that though. They are now saying that there is at least a small nucleus remnant that held together and is starting the post game show. From the imagery it looks like ISON really accelerated into the gravity well; makes one wonder what kind of effect that had on the signature the comet was giving off.

Here is my latest video from the SOHO data
