Description

This is my first time imaging a comet. In this case Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF). After struggling with stacking in Deep Sky Stacker (DSS) I switched to Pixinsight. I find the result quite pleasing. - Hope you too.

At time of imaging (9th of Feb. 2023) the comet was around 55.72 Mio Km (or 0.372 AU) away from earth.
Since then the distance is increasing (Middle of May 2023 around 416,1 Mio Km (or 2.782 AU).
