Another new new C/2022 E3 ZTF

[AstroGS]

This is probably my 3rd take (and last) of this beautiful comet hence, the "another new new".......

 

This time I managed to acquire an hours worth of data (60 x 60 secs) on the 31st of Jan and before midnight. Unfortunately the 2nd set of subs - 120 sec each - was n to usable as the core of the comet came out elongated on each frame. At least this time, I am happy that both the tail and anti tail seem to be visible. 🙂

 

The guiding this time was really good with sub-1" RMS error. Used the Stellamira ED90 triplet on an AM5, with an ASI2600MC and this time a 2" ZWO UV/IR cut filter. The latter is really good and I think it does a better job compared to the L-Pro.

 

Integrated and processed in PI + Blur/Star/NoiseXterminator.
