Has anyone seen and photographed Comet ISON with a telescope?

 

It is located just below Mars right now, but not visible yet with the naked eye.

 

Viewing from North America, it is supposed to be most visible in the pre-dawn sky later this month

I have not, but I did some reading on it. Most unusual object.

Got up really early this morning to see if I could find ISON, but to no avail.

 

Determined to get some pics of this thing as soon as I can see it through the scope. Supposed to be the brightest near the end of this month....will be my birthday comet! :D  How often do we get a comet for our birthday??!!

 

If anyone out there sees it and gets a pic, will you post it?
