Comet ISON - binoculars or unaided eye?

Reports are coming in that people have seen Comet ISON with binoculars.  This morning there were reports that it was visible with the unaided eye. 

Here is my picture of Comet ISON taken with a wide angle view.  If you look reeeeeal close, you can see it - just behind the FEW clouds that lingered this morning!  The comet's position is just below the cloud line.  As the morning progressed, more clouds arrived.

Such is the life of the astronomer - we can't control the weather.
