Went out this morning to Ft. Pulaski to try to catch something, ANYTHING.

I did see Comet Lovejoy. It’s almost overhead at 5:00am and approaching the tail of the dipper.

I saw Mercury and Saturn rise (along with skyglow), but, I was fighting a band of clouds and said skyglow, so I may have not or I may have seen the nucleus of ISON.

Too Much glow now, have to wait til it gets brighter or further away from the Sun.

BTW, when I got home this morning, the band of clouds had parted and I got a nice view of Mercury before Sunrise.

When there’s no overcast, Jupiter is the big one in the sky here. No scope though, and I can’t hold binoculars still enough.
