ISON Interactive Model

Hm, yeah, looking at the orbital configuration in the simulator in the first post, it seems the left border of the image should be about as far out as the radius of Mercury's orbit. Here is the instrument's web page:

I'm sure you will find its spectral window in the "documents" section. I found out that the videos posted here are showing the difference between two consecutive frames, so that's were the "shadows" come from. This will also improve the visibility of anything that moves.

It is the end of the day for me, but we're now only about 13 hours away from perihelion. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory's website is posting images from its LASCO camera on a regular basis on their website:

Looks like it's still in one piece And do i see a secondary tail there?

For anyone who's interested, the Solar Dynamics Observatory's website is going to be posting near real-time images of ISON near perihelion, starting in just over an hour.

Update:

The first images are on the Solar Dynamics Observatory website now. There are four sets of images. I wasn't able to see very much in any of them. Am I interpreting them wrong? Here's the most recent of the "purple" set. There's a small artifact there. Is that it?:

Well they ended the google hangout without much information. The SOHO images are more than an hour old...

I also found an "artifact" in one of the AIA 193 (the orange one) I dunno if this is ISON, or remnants thereof? It's funny that the "tails" appear to be twards the sun? Could be evidence of a cloaked Klingon vessel for all I know??

My coworker suggested that the artifacts may be the wormhole that ISON disappeared into? They don't appear in every image, so maybe they are popping into and out of existence?
