Description

A bit late to the party, but I thought I'd add my attempt to the thousands of other images!

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was about 32.5 million miles from us at the time the image was taken and is now on its way out of the Solar system. Estimated magnitude 5.6, which is just under naked eye limit. It was difficult to see the Comet's tail possibly due to the strong Moonlight, but I also think it's getting fainter. It was fascinating seeing the fluctuations in the coma between each sub.

Clear skies!

Tony.
