Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)

Having missed a previous opportunity to capture an image of Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), I was determined to give it an attempt on Feb 14th 2023, when clear skies appeared. The comet was in the constellation of Taurus. I used my Askar 400 with it's focal reducer to reduce the exposure time needed. I probably should have used longer exposures but as usual, I was winging it. On the right side of this image you can also see the open cluster NGC 1647. This was using 73 one-minute exposures with a ZWO 2600 MC Pro. I processed the images in Siril and GIMP.
