Description

Before sunrise on the morning of January 24th, I was able to photograph the ghostly "green comet" tracking its way across the northern skies. Comet 2022 E3 ZTF is brightening a bit every day, peaking in brightness at the beginning of next month. This image was taken with my RASA8 - ASI294 telescope / camera combo by integrating a series of images over a period of 30 minutes. The comet's green coma, reddish dusty tail, and blue gaseous tail are visible.
