Has anyone seen comet ISON with binoculars? I think I might have this morning, but according to the star chart at the Astronomy website, I could also have seen a star.
Is ISON a binocular object?

Here is an image taken at 5:05 am as a reference. Should be close to when you were observing. Its a single 6 min exposure using a yellow filter. The comet is a little over a degree north of mars. Regulus is about 2 degrees south of ISON... North is to the left...Hope this helps...
OH the smudge on the Mars side of Regulus is the Dwarf Galaxy Leo 1...
