Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF

This image was taken on January 20, 2023 around 4am in the NE sky in the Constellation Bootes.

I didn't have my RGB filters in my DSO filter wheel at the time, so I just captured this one in mono without filters as there was a Moonless sky. This is just one 60-second sub processed that I picked out from the stack that I have planned for an animation of the Comet.

I looked up at the sky in the direction of the Comet but either it is still too small for the naked eye or my Bortle 5 skies are too bright. It will be closest to Earth in another 2 weeks so I will try again with binoculars in a few more days when the clouds cooperate.

Thanks, Eddie

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.
