Description

My second shot at C/2022-E3 ZTF on Saturday morning, January 28th.  I did not get as much data this morning as I wanted.  after about 1 1/2 hours, the wind gusts started picking up and it was enough to disturb my guiding.  At first I was losing 1 out of 5 subs, and eventually it got to losing 4 out of 5, so I packed it in with only 81 minutes of subs.  I really thought I wouldn't have enough for an interesting image, but I was pleasantly surprised.  

This comet is so interesting because of how fast and how much it changes from day to day!  It's been fun to work on - but frustrating as well... but then that's really the story of this hobby in general.
