Open Cluster NGC 1647 in Taurus and Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)

I know I am kind of late to the party. But in my defense: When I checked where the comet was in the sky when I first heard about it, it was in the north, and my house was blocking the view. I didn't realize that it will be coming around to the south where I can image it.

Here is a gorgeous composite image of the departing comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) along with planet Mars taken two nights ago.

The broad white dust tail and the long narrow blue ion tail are clearly visible. The coma shines brightly in green color at 518 nm wavelength.

In the foreground is the Matterhorn, a mountain in the Italian Alps with a picturesque peak.

#Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is wandering towards the south and now can be seen high in the sky near planet Mars. Yesterday evening there were quite good conditions in the mountains (Odenwald) near Heidelberg, Germany.

Where to see comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) in the night sky from central U.S.
Tonight, the comet will be visible near Mars, within 2 degrees of it. Magnitude = 6, hence binoculars or a telescope are needed.

So, jetzt noch fix draußen nach #Komet #C2022E3 geschaut (in echt 🔭:-)
Heute war er leicht zu finden: Über Aldebaran und Mars nach oben Richtung Capella, knapp rechts neben Hassaleh, und voila, da war das kleine Nebelchen.
Allerdings ist das Beobachten nah am Zenith mit einem geradsichtigen Bino auf Fotostativ ein echter Nackenkiller (arschkalt war es außerdem). Aber naja: Der kommt erst in 50.000 Jahren wieder!
Der Screenshot legt es nahe: Am Ende noch schnell über M42 und M45 geschwenkt 👍

#Komet|ensuche, die Zwote. Hab' ihn. Ist aber tatsächlich recht underwhelming :-/

#C2022E3

Ha! Found it today. But not with the binoculars. Had to use the telescope. It’s currently close to Al Kab in the constellation of Auriga… #c2022e3

Einige Learnings später, hier nun meine vorerst finale Bearbeitung von C/2022 E3 (ZTF) 🤩

Me trying to fetch a glimpse on #c2022e3 yesterday evening…

Mein erster Komet 🙌

Ich werde mir definitiv die Daten in ein paar Tagen noch einmal vornehmen und versuchen, die Integration noch besser hinzubekommen, aber für den Moment bin ich glücklich 🙂

Der helle Stern Capella hat geholfen, dass ich den grünen Kometen #C2022E3 #ZTF endlich lokalisieren konnte.
Mit dem Fernglas in einem Berliner Hinterhof, so dass der Vollmond abgeschirmt war.
Nur schwach zu sehen, aber immerhin.
Wenn das Wetter mitspielt, möchte ich diese Woche noch die #ArchenholdSternwarte besuchen.

#C2022E3?

Nein, nur ein Flugzeug. 😂

Started the day well before Dawn comet-spotting with the eldest. 💫✨
