Description

After weeks of clouds, finally a small window of 2 hours for comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF). One hour spent on setting up and making beginner mistakes; I got a bit rusty after weeks of non-astro activity. I was so impatient I started taking subs when my guiding was still calibrating, not smart, unless you deliberately want star trails. Hence the limited number of red subs 
A bit disappointed I could not get the tail in all its glory. Is it because of the limited processing time or is it not so much visible anymore?  No clue.
But still very happy to have this gem in my library and I 'enjoyed' my first comet processing in PI.
As it is a comet it will return, so I will have another shot with the full tail  in 50.000 years...
