Afraid not.
It broke up in transit as it passed perihelion.
None of the remaining three are looking like they’ll be naked eye.
Drats.
Ison was naked eye for a bit prior to perihelion.
I had cloud cover.
:-(

Well, here's a photo of Comet Ison taken on Dec 11, 2013. Don't you see it?

Wow. It sure is spectacular.

Okay, I want to know when there will be another visible-to-the-nekkid eye comet. They interest me.

Of course I live where there is cloud cover much of the winter and mountains to the south and east and west, and 100 plus foot tall fir trees all around, so...

I’ll have to make a big effort to see one but I will if one gets itself up in the sky.
