Do you have *any* idea what Mars looks like through the weak telescope that you'll be using? How do you expect to see volcanic activity, sparks, huge auroras and storms through a weak telescope? Worse, if you're using a cheap telescope, the poor quality lenses could tint (chromatic aberration) the apparent colour of whatever you're observing. If you're relying on fuzzy images alone to prove your point, you might as well also prove that dinosaurs are walking the surface of Mars while you're at it.

You expect to see 6,700,000 mile-long bolts of electricity between ISON and Mars and a 13,400,000 mile-wide coma? If such a phenomena were to occur, that would likely be visible with the naked eye.

Are ALL of your expectations (volcanic activity, sparks, huge auroras and storms, 6,700,000 mile-long bolts of electricity between ISON and Mars, 13,400,000 mile-wide coma) necessary for you to conclude you're right? Or, will you conclude you're right with only a slight colour shift visible through a cheap telescope?
