Steve, here are the positions of ISON for 0h UT for the next several days.
It should help alleviate some of the sweeping.

Howdy all;
I am sitting at the computer waiting for the World Series to start this
afternoon. It is quite breezy and a little cloudy. I do hope that all
that will be over by the time the game has concluded. The snow storm
up north is obviously effecting the entire western US.
I did get a chance to view Comet ISON this morning. Here is the
observation.
Comet ISON
28 Oct, 2013 Antennas site 16" f/4.5 5:05 AM MST
27mm eyepiece found this comet by sweeping "underneath" Mars in Leo.
Pretty low surface brightness, but definately a comet shape.
14mm eyepiece (130X) pretty faint, pretty large, elongated
"comet-shaped" with fairly prominent nucleus. Coma and tail are low
surface brightness, particularly with a 20% illuminated Moon only about
15 degrees distant. Averted vision shows the tail thicker and more
prominent.
Once the moon is thinner it should provide a better view. One can
hope.
Clear skies to us all;
Steve Coe
