Description

Backyard capture in Bortle 8 (Washington, DC) of the Green Comet! Been terrible weather here recently, so I think barring this Friday (a big maybe) the three hours I had with it were all I was getting. A little short of two hours integration before clouds rolled in and dew overcame everything. Processed using this tutorial: I captured the Green Comet!! C/2022 E3 ZTF - YouTube

Also first light on my finally-chose-the-scope Astro-Tech AT72EDII! Really is the perfect imaging rig.

Just noticed after plate solving that NGC 2591 snuck in to the top right corner -- hi there!
