Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) in Corona Borealis

Recently discovered, the Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) is now easily visible with the use of a small telescope with a visual estimated magnitude of 10.24. It can be located in the Corona Borealis constellation.This comet was discovered by astronomers using the wide-field survey camera at the Zwicky Transient Facility last March 2022.This telescopic image was captured on the early morning of the 28th of December 2022, at 05:56 UTC, from my backyard observatory in Prades (Tarragona). It's the first image of my new backyard observatory.The comet's perihelion will be reached on January the 12th, and the perigee, its closest approach to Earth, on February the 1st.The Comet could be visible to the naked eye by the end of January according to several estimations.The full image covers an area of 2º060' x 1º35' at a resolution of 2.59"/pixel.Thanks for your time on this website.

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.
