Are You Ready?  Comet ISON is Coming Soon to the Sky Near You!

I've produced this demo reel and teaser video to introduce my upcoming coverage of Comet ISON, widely billed as a possible "Comet of the century".  As an experienced astrophotographer, I've identified some of the best opportunities and places to catch it.  I'm considering individual and corporate sponsors to fund expanding the scope and duration of my video and still image coverage.

For individual sponsors, I'll allow a limited number of other photographers to accompany me in a workshop in December (contact me for details).

For corporate and news media sponsors, they'll get priority access to timely, world-class coverage as the spectacle hits every news outlet worldwide, online and on-air.  My astronomy time-lapse footage and still images have been featured by +National Geographic, BBC, +ABC World News with David Muir, on various local news broadcasts, CNN, +The Huffington Post, on +Philip Plait's +Bad Astronomy blog on +Slate and +Discover Magazine, and shared on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ by major social media influencers.

My kids +Nicole Sullivan (17) and +Thomas Sullivan (14), also award-winning astrophotographers, will join me on this project when they can.  

The first clip in this teaser video is from my coverage of the 2013 Perseid meteor shower.  I licensed it to BBC for the documentary special on John Denver which aired tonight on BBC FOUR in the U.K., November 22,  21:00 GMT.

Comet ISON is visible now, but it should brighten considerably as it passes the sun later this month, and if it survives its close pass, it should remain bright well into December:
