Description

I managed to capture a little over an hour of data on Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) in an early morning when it was about halfway between Chi Herculis and Phi Bootis.

Comet processing is a new thing for me, so it was a bit challenging. I'm not sure if I got the comet colors right. I used Modified SCNR with Pixelmath -V4 by Bill Blanshan at 0.75 amount, because I knew there was a lot of green tint the entire image, but it may have taken too much green out of the comet.

Frames were 30 seconds each, tracking the stars, not the comet.

Observation Start: 04:20:37 EST
Observation End: 06:18:31 EST

Of nearly two hours of observation, only a little over half were usable.
