Yet another C/2022 E3 ZTF with Gif...

I've really struggled with these, imaged early evening a few nights ago... couldn't get the integration following comet alignment to work well, however quite pleased with the Gif.

The animation is great though the still image is good too it sure is a bright comet head

I love animations! They really brings it to life

About 35 minutes... Started at 21.02, ended 21.37 on 30th Jan. Total 42 exposures, each of 50 seconds using a 5D3. ED80 DSPRO with x0.85 on HEQ5. I usually use APT but had all sorts of problems and ended up with an old intervalometer dangling around...

Crackin' image and animation! It's awesome seeing ZTF on the move!

I share you pain in the stacking & processing involved.

How did you create the video? I started with Blink in PixInsight but found a better tool to get a smoother video from the saved blink images.
