Description

My first ever mosaic!

This 2-panel mosaic shows the C/2022 E3 ZTF "Green Comet" on its closest visual approach to Mars for northern observers. 

Mars is obviously very bright and the comet is still looking nice with a defined tail as of February 10.

30-second exposures with the SVX130 and QHY600M.
