I am anxiously awaiting the perihelion of Comet ISON in the end on November. I have spent years photographing astronomical subjects at night and twilight but have no experience when they are so close to the sun.
The possibility of ISON being a daytime object (magnitude estimates -5 to -12) exists. Has anyone had any experience photographing such objects in the daytime 3 to 5 degrees from the sun? I attempted to photograph McNaught a few years back near the sun with no success. Are there any stacking, processing procedures or filters that would help? Any feedback would be appreciated!
