Happy to present you the pictorial record of SWAN's first glimpse of Comet ISON. Taken on 17th Nov 04:59AM IST. Had a plan to shoot it from Jalpaiguri through guided mount and Telescope. But, sudden cloud formation in east horizon from 3:00AM forced us to take hasty decision to leave all equipment and move only with camera and lens. A risky journey of 30km, a chase for clear sky, it was. But finally came out to be rewarding. May not be of very high class, but we loved this image, our first view of Comet ISON.
This is a non stacked single frame image of comet ISON.
