Comet C/2012 S1 [ISON]


Here are a few quick pics of Comet C/2012 S1 {ISON] which is presently In Gemini near Castor & Pollux.
Its current magnitude per the MPC is 16.3

I'm not able to guide on the comet itself with my setup so the comet appears as a trail but it does show you its relative motion across the sky in the span of 24 minutes.
