Description

This is an animated gif of C/2012 S1 (ISON) which contains seven frames collected over a period of roughly four hours during the early morning of January 18th 2013. Each frame is from a stack of 10 x 180 second exposures. The "tail" that is observed here is not a real tail but rather the streak/blur that Ison makes over the course of the thirty minutes of integration in each frame.
