ISON & Mars , 11 october 2013

My first photographic try on ISON. Visualy , it takes a telescope to see it because Ive tried with binoculars 10 X 50 and I was not able to see it and I was in a very dark site in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve ! Fortunately , my camera was able to record this faint comet ! I hope that will change soon as its approach of the Sun. photo details : Canon 1D Mark III , 400mm @ f 5,6 , iso 1250 11 x 2 minutes = 22 minutes total exposure stack in DSS.
