Thanks for your interest on Ison. As you know, comets are notoriously unpredictable. and more so with ones coming closer to Sun for the first time like ISON. So, it will be difficult to make an advance assessment about its exact show up though a theoretical predication has already made.

We are preparing a detailed chart of its visibility period window, direction and time from different locations. This will serve your purpose. It will be uploaded soon in this site. Please be with SWAN.

In the mean time, you may go through the simulation included in the site to make an idea.

We would love to have you in our initiative to make all aware about this celestial guest to our sky.

Thanks and regards-

Debasis Sarkar

How can I see the path of the comet among the stars? I winded time into the future to see where it would be in few days but saw it at the same place near the Sun as it was located today (December 4, 2013)
