Attached is an observation of the comet C/2022 E3 ZTF made early this morning. The sky was fairly transparent, although the comet was somewhat low down. The nucleus seems to be somewhat diffuse although a brighter centre could be seen along with hints of a tail. A definite greenish tint was present at the centre of it. Alas there were no suitable field stars visible to attempt a magnitude estimate, but if I was to make a rough guess I'd say it is probably around Mv~6.3. |
