Description

A cosmic rendezvous: Green comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) passes near Mars on February 11, 2023. I was lucky to capture this image literally in a gap in clouds under a city skies (Bortle 8), so the original light frames were heavily affected by light pollution. However, the result after stacking and processing was not too bad. Nevertherless, the comet's ion tail was only barely visible in the stretched image. Tacken with Samayng 135 mm @ f/4, IDAS LPS, 132x1 min, 19:48-22:13 UT. Size 100%, crop.
