"we have a chance of seeing a veritable “Comet Convoy” as 3 comets line up with Mars and Jupiter in the south east before sunrise…
And how bright will they all be? Well, from the left, Comet Encke will be magnitude 6, ISON should be hovering around 6 or 7, and Lovejoy will be still very faint at around magnitude 9."
The ISON thread makes mention of the fact that there are supposedly 6 or 7 'objects' being 'observed'. The subject isn't one of my strong suits, but free boat rides and fishing will loosen lips.
