Comet 2012 S1 ISON January 20, 2013 - Much More Visible

Comet 2012 S1 ISON is changing!  The object is now easy to spot in the telescopic images I'm taking.  Where I was having to take several images over a period of a few hours in order to see which of the very dim specks was moving, I can now spot the comet easily.  It has the hazy appearance of a comet with the early signs of a coma.  There is no distinct tail yet.
