OK, did not mean to be critical, just a point. Life is tough, hard and unforgiving—then I have to say this? Sorry.

The camera lens has a smudge on it.

Is it visible to the naked eye (or maybe a set of 10x binos) yet? Where should I look? Thanks

It is still down, right?
Funny, I spent about 10 minutes poking around troubleshooting it (APOD is my home page) when I had the head-slapping moment: “Aw, geez...it is a government funded website...”
Probably one of the few things the government funds that I wholly enjoy.

I almost broke down and bought one of the many magazines with Comet ISON as their covers this month. Best two appeared to be “Sky and Telescope” (always prefer that to “Astronomy”, in case anyone cares) and “Discover” mag has a special extra issue entirely devoted to Comet ISON. “Astronomy” and about three or four other mags also featured it, amazing, y’know, because it’s really just a comet, it’s not going to hit Earth (this time).
My observation of the event is to watch NatGeog’s mid-1990s “Asteroids” DVD, it’s really a professional bio of the late Eugene Shoemaker and his relationships with his wife and David Levy (the three of them discovered SL-9, the comet that broke up then augered into Jupiter back in 1994). It’s been years (late 90s) since I viewed a comet, hope this ISON is good.
