Comet C/2023 E3 (ZTF)

Last Wednesday, after shooting the Winter Milky Way in Southern Oregon until the wee hours of the morning, I had the choice between getting some sleep or using the remaining dark night to finally to try my hand at Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF).

 

Of course, I went for the comet. My small tracker was definitely over its limit with the heavy 200mm lens, but the dark skies of Southern Oregon and some sophisticated processing allowed me to still acquire an acceptable result.
