Other amount procardia xl rxlist The comet we have been waiting for is finally nearing its expected peak , when, in our morning sky, faint but brightening Comet ISON could reach naked-eye visibility. Although our best views will come in November and December, the comet should, by the end of October be within the range of binoculars and small telescopes. ISON will be in the eastern pre-dawn sky gliding almost parallel with ruddy Mars, which is currently rising around 3 am. Mars, by the way, is at magnitude 1.6 and one October 14th will appear very close to Regulus, the brightest star in Leo around 5 am. The two will be nearly the same in brightness but easy to distinguish because Mars is red while Regulus is a blue-white color.
