Description

This version of Comet ZTF (C/2022 E3) was taken 6 days after the first version I posted. My first attempt had the tail and anti-tail almost aligned and the color of the image was predominantly green. After 5 days, the geometry changed enough to make what I feel is a more interesting image. Also, for whatever reason, this image has more tones but the ion tail is white instead of the blue as I have seen in earlier images. I checked other images of comet ZTF from 1/26/23 to 1/27/23 and they seem match the colors I captured.
