 Couple more sketches of C/2022 E3 ZTF on January 31st/February 1st at 00.15 UT from Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, N. Ireland.

Using my old 8" S.Cass at F/6.3 at 26mm. Inner coma region only due to moonlight presence. Also three positions of the coma passing over a background field star showing the comets rapid Nly motion, closest to Earth this night. I observed the star pass through the coma and close to the false nucleus, almost in real time, striking motion seen in 1-2 minutes.
