My try at Comet 2022 E3 ZTF.

[Enceladus Dan]

Hello all, This was my first Comet, plus my first night out with my Telescope in a long while. consisting of 40x 120s unfiltered lights, darks, flats and bias frames. all Calibrated, aligned, stacked and processed in Pixinsight. the whole comet processing was an eye opener, in my head (stacked stars + Stacked Comet = great image), yet in reality (what is this that came out of the stacking process). i had elongated gaps from rejection algorithms, which it turned out is normal. in the end i removed all stars from the 40 subs, stacked carried out noise reduction on the Background. then only stacked 10 x 120s frames for just the stars, so that the broken stretched green  comet remines don't get in the way when merging the images together. all in all im happy with it, until the next visitor comes.
