Description

This image captures Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) as it traverses the space between the Ursa Major and Ursa Minor constellations on the morning of January 29th, 2023. The image is generated from 105 frames taken with LRBG filters, each with an exposure time of 45 seconds. The creation of star-only and comet-only masters allowed for separate processing and a final combination of the comet and star images resulted in this image without any trailing artifacts. Many thanks to Shawn at Visible Dark for his Pixinsight tutorial on processing comets.
