Description

For this attempt at capturing Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) I tracked the background stars and tried to use a short enough exposure time to not have the comet core smear.  This situation is always a compromise compared to tracking on the core of the comet.

C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is a non-periodic comet from the Oort cloud that was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) on 2 March 2022. The comet has a bright green glow around its nucleus, due to the effect of sunlight on diatomic carbon and cyanogen.
