Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) 27/12/22 - a photo on Flickriver

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) 27/12/22

            I've only just got around to processing this image of comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) that was photographed during the early hours of the morning of 27th December 2022. 

Taken from North Oxfordshire with an 8" Ritchie-Chretien telescope and Altair Astro Hypercam 183C CMOS camera. My husband Mark captured the data between 02:35 and 04:25 UT. Each exposure was 1 minute long. We captured 199 lights but there was a lot cloud running through the data wasn't the best quality, so we only managed to stack 30 of the images. The images were stacked with 6 darks and 11 flats. Processing was done by me using Photoshop CS2, Lightroom, Fast Stone Image Viewer and Focus Magic. 

I was really pleased to see a faint hint of the ion tail coming through despite the conditions not being too great.  This comet has brightened since this photo was taken but it's currently still a binocular object.
