Description

C/2022 E3 (ZTF) The Green Comet
40 minutes of imaging (10s to 120s subs) taken during the narrow window of dark before moonrise on Thursday evening.
First attempt at comet processing (felt like paint by numbers following the most helpful Visible Dark youtube video) and still a few artifacts to work out but happy to get this. It took hours and hours to batch process 79 comet aligned subs with Star Xterminator 🤣!!

I have learnt that the comet tail always points away from the sun (I didn't know that before)
WO Fluorostar 132, ZWO ASI294MC-pro, GM2000 mount.
