UPDATE 11/17/13 - 11:20 am EST - Upclose Picture of ISON Coma from Ison!  Perfectly Round Coma with two additional objects in it. 

 I just received an email from ISON Telescope network this morning 11/17/13, with this picture.  He said it was just taken 20 minutes before sending it to me at 8:45 AM est.

What a gorgeous comet with various tails now.

I am putting together information about both Encke and ISON both passing by Mercury tonight/morning (18th) at 5:30 AM EST.  I will update this post with a link to all the information about trying to watch what happens.  Remember in ancient times Mercury is showing having 'wings', so will Mercury light up as Mars did when ISON passed it?

Here is the information about the comets passing Mercury
