Description

In 30 days, we haven't had more than a couple hours of clear night skies here in Ohio. I was finally able to take advantage of 2 clear hours on Feb 3 to get a 30 minute exposure on Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF, otherwise known as the Green Comet. It was particularly challenging to process because the bright moon was not far from the comet, and there were significant gradients to deal with due to stray moonlight.
