Not easy to see yet, but hopefully, it'll continue to brighten. It's disappointing that it probably isn't going to be as spectacular as they thought last year.
Got a good pair of binoculars? Incoming Comet ISON's visible now - NBC News.com
Quote:
The potentially dazzling Comet ISON has brightened enough on its highly anticipated approach toward the sun that it's now visible through a decent pair of binoculars.
"ISON's head appears small and stellar through a pair of 15x70s optics."
The comet is currently as bright as an 8th magnitude star — too dim to be seen with the naked eye but easy to spot with binoculars or a small telescope.
