Date/Time of photo:

Equipment:

Samyang 135mm f/2.8 stopped down to f/3.5 with ZWO ASI 1600MM. 5 5 minutes shots for luminance, 3 3 minutes shots each for RGB channels

Description:

Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF taken on the night of January 21st, 2023 remotely from Spain. I would have preferred to take it from somewhere dark here in Italy, but the poor weather we're having these days made me decide for this solution perhaps less romantic, but definitely more comfortable. The conditions were not really the best (there was a lot of humidity), so the photo was heavily processed to show the two tails, the shorter dust one and the longer ion one.
