Description

Second image of C/2022 E3(ZTF) from my Bortle 8/9 terrace. On 26th January 2023, comet moved from Draco to Ursa Minor constellation. This is the best result I could extract given the bad seeing and other silly mistakes I made during the acquisition stage. The night suddenly cleared up and without any plan or thought I jumped into imaging it. I completely forgot to remove the CLS filter which I think contributed to sub-optimal results. Now given the weather and the moon schedule I don't think I will get chance to image it again. One year back I would have gone bonkers with these results but lovely images on Astrobin made me realise that there is a long way to go before I start flashing these average images Hope you like it.
