Please find attached an observation of C/2022 E3 ZTF made last night.  This was one of my best views of the comet so far and at the time of observation was almost overhead.  The sky was fairly transparent with no moonlight.  At x100 there were hints of a tail and the core looked less stellar in appearance compared to before.  The greenish tint persists.

I estimated the comet's magnitude using the comparison star HD31550, a F4V star in Auriga with an Mv= 6.7.  My estimate was '67+5' which gives the comet's magnitude of about +6.2 (it was probably slightly brighter than this).
