I'm not much of an observational astronomer - but using iTelescope scope 11 - I think I caught motion in ISON over 19 hours.

Great work again Doug, really impressed with that. Looking forward to more of those as ISON warms up...

If anyone is interested, I've interviewed Nick Howes, a professional astronomer involved in studying ISON (and PANSTARRS) on my "Waiting for ISON" blog. I think it contains some fascinating insights into the life and work of a professional astronomer.

Not ISON but I saw Comet PAN-Starrs briefly today through 8x40 binos. It was pretty dim, but a tail was discernible. It does not look like the images you see on the web though.
