Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF

A more interesting comet, already at around 8th magnitude and may become visible to the naked eye during the next couple of months.
The broad, short dust tail can be seen roughly in the 10 o'clock position, while the long, faint and narrow ion tail is just visible facing 12 o'clock. (The very faint, diagonal line above the comet is caused by a satellite).

Astro-modified Canon EOS 600D,Revelation 300mm f/4 Newtonian reflector
2 x 90-sec exposures at ISO 3200, stacked on the comet in Deep Sky Stacker software (hence the trailed stars).
Post-processed to reduce noise, increase contrast and reduce colour gradients caused by light pollution. hide exif
