Title

Attached please find my image of C/2022 E3 ZTF taken between 01:44 and 01:36 on 2023 January 27. I estimated the comet to be at magnitude 5.2, based on it being just barely visible in a dark sky with a limiting magnitude estimated by glimpsing HD 124730, also at 5.25. The image comprises 82 subs of 30 seconds each at ISO 800 using a Canon 100D DSLR, astro mod'ed and a Redcat 51 on a SkyTracker Pro. The image was taken from Knowlton church, in the Cranbourne Dark Sky reserve.
