Hello Astrobinners!

Three versions of Green comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)

Never done a comet before ... so here are my first meagre efforts

Eventually found a video on youtube showing how to stack comets in deepsky stacker when using seperate RGB filters so had a go

On the 4th Feb there was a bit of clear sky but also a full moon which wasnt ideal

Pointed all three rigs at the target and got about an hour exposure on each

From left to right

TS-Optics CF-APO 130mm f/5.6 @ 728 mm focal length
TS-Optics Imaging Star 102mm f/5.1 @ 520 mm focal length
William Optics Redcat 51 mm f/4.9 @ 250 mm local length

Other than the bright moon combined with bortle 7/8 location the main issue in processing was walking noise in the redcat 51 (for some reason) and the stacking artefacts (streaks from stars)

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
