Description

Another nice comet to image! Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) even has a third tail known as an anti-tail. This anti-tail seems pointing toward the sun, but it's an optical illusion that can appear as Earth crosses the plane of the comet’s orbit when the body is close to the Sun. When viewed from a certain angle from earth, the dust behind the comet can look like it's pointing towards the sun.

This photo is a two panel mosaic captured with my c9.25 SCT and Hyperstar with an ASI533mc Pro camera. 
Certainly another unforgettable comet!
