Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) from yesterday evening, full moon (99.2% illuminated) very close, but very clear and transparent sky here in Alhama de Granada, Andalucia. I also captured for the first time the CN band and the SWAN band each in monochrome. I then plan to offset these images with the color images later. The maximum acquisition time was reached with 60sec per subframe: the nucleus already showed motion trails despite this short exposure time. By the length of the star trails you can see how far the comet has moved in one hour, relative to the stars.
Technique: RASA8, ASI ZWO 2600 MC, Baader Contrast Booster Filter, 60x60sec.
