Aberkenfig, South Wales

Here is an image of Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) obtained on 24th January 2023 at 06:04 UT using my Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian Reflector & Nikon D780 at prime focus. It is a single shot image processed with Lightroom & GIMP.

 

Captured when it was about 78º above the horizon. There is also a faint galaxy in the background as the comet was passing through the constellation of Draco.

 

Exp 20s

ISO 2500

f/l of telescope 1200mm

 

I obtained a number of images but I am not sure how to stack and process them. The comet's movement was very evident on each capture.
