Description

No longer any hint of "green"  as the now - faint 11.5 magnitude comet C/2022 E3 ZTF has closed in on my western Horizon.  Yep, lots of artifacts from the conifers in this stack of 13 x 45 seconds (actually at no time was any of frames -the entire 3.2 x 2.1 degree field -free of trees).  Most of the images were taken when the comet was 15 degrees up, in a gap between my mountainous horizon. 

So this is goodbye to a once spectacular (imaging-wise) visitor.
