Description

This was the first light for my C6 Hyperstar 6 v4 and my 533MC camera.  My target was the green comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) which was nearing maximum brightness near Polaris.  The image stacked on the comet's nucleus in Astropixel Processor.  The total imaging time was 25 minutes in 5 second subs.  There was a high gibbous moon  and only a brief cloud free window to work within. EQ6-R Pro mount. Orion 50mm f3.2 guide scope with ZWO ASI 120MM mini guide camera.
