The comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is approaching Earth and changing its appearance.

This telescopic image of the Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) was captured on the early morning of the 21st of January 2023, at 05:14 UTC, from my backyard observatory in Prades (Tarragona, Spain).

Recently discovered, the Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) is now detectable with the unaided eye under truly dark skies, and it shows some details with the use of binoculars with a visual estimated magnitude of 6.0 (Jan.26). It can be located in the Draco constellation.

The comet's perihelion was reached January the 12th, and the perigee, its closest approach to Earth, will be on February the 1st.The full image covers an area of 1º26' x 1º44' at a resolution of 2.59"/pixel.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
