According to spaceweather.com, ISON has undergone a 2 magnitude outburst in
the last 24 hours. Cloudy here in Norfolk last night and looking doubtful
for me tonight but for most of UK should be a small window of opportunity
before that moon rises approx 4.40am.

COMET ISON OUTBURST: Observers around the world are reporting a sharp
increase in the brightness of sundiving Comet ISON. Formerly dim, it is now
on the threshold of naked-eye visibility. Comet ISON is plunging toward the
sun for a perilous pass through the solar atmosphere on Thanksgiving Day
(Nov. 28th).  This could be the first of many brightening events as
intensifying solar heat erodes material away from the comet's nucleus.  For
