Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) - The Green Comet
Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) a once in a lifetime comet, captured from my garden in the UK on January 25th through the night.
This comet is thought to have originated from the extremely distant Oort Cloud, a region on the far outer edges of our solar system. It’s likely to completely exit the solar system and not return for a million years. Humans as we know them will likely be extinct and the photos we have taken now, are likely the only ones to ever be captured.
This is a field of view, around 0.6 degrees of the sky. This is a very tightly framed photo of this comet. Whereas most photos show a much wider 4 to 6 degrees of the sky, showcasing the tail of the comet - I went in for a close up.
This was captured using my Skywatcher Explorer 200P telescope with a native focal length of 1000mm, reduced down to 950mm. The camera I used was a ZWO 533MM, cooled to -15C and LRGB filters from Antlia to produce this colour image.
