ISON C2012 S1 Brightens with Coma “Wings” and Multi Tails

Comet ISON is brightening at an amazing rate! Coma “wings” are evident around the nucleus and muli-tail streamers trail behind far beyond the image field of view. It is now inside the orbit of Venus as it approaches closer to the Sun.

This image is for Mae, the love of my life who critiques my images and helps me tweak them.
