It's a reasonably clear night and I think I managed to get a glimpse of (that's the ) but there's an unfortunate amount of where I live.

I caught comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)!
Wait, what do you mean you can't see it? It's right there, on the left, that super small a bit green blurry dot. Yes, right there!

Ok, I know, I know! It's not spectacular nor stunning in any way. But that stacked, blurry image was all I could get. Still I'm SUPER happy I got it! And that I can proudly say I took a photo of the comet 😌

The green comet, C/2022 E3 (ZTF). Did you manage to see it?!

I did, was a smudge in my telescope.🤩

This comet hasn't been seen in over 50,000 years and came within 27 million miles of us. Then it continued its journey out past Mars on its way to explore the universe again.🥰

Is it too late to see comet ZTF? I went out with binoculars several times in the last few weeks, but haven't been able to spot it. Maybe there's just too much light pollution here.

For those looking for the dim M7.1 , it's *kind of easy* to spot tonight 2/15, near orange star , the eye of the bull, not to be confused with a nearby brighter, rustier looking . Look for a disappointing smear of gray in the telescope.

meet the . I tried to shoot the conjunction last night but was too tired, winds were crazy, and tried to watch football, too. Was able to squeeze in this 5 minute exposure in between clouds. twitter.com/i/web/status/16251

On Saturday night I managed to shoot 130 images of Comet ZTF as it passed close to the Planet Mars. There was some high cloud which made it a bit hazy. Here's roughly sixty minutes exposure showing the comet's motion across the sky

A Green Comet and the Red Planet performed a waltz in space. Last night ☄️and Mars had a close encounter with one another in the constellation Taurus the Bull. This image is the result of 10 minutes of exposure time. Although the two appeared close to each other, Mars was 91,096,691 miles from Earth, whereas comet ZTF was 41,644,202 miles from Earth. Mars is easily visible, but you'll need binoculars or a telescope to see the comet. 📷🔭

Here's how to find from New England tonight, 2/11, around 8 PM. The will be visible near the cluster, and is within 2 degrees of the comet, making it easier to spot. Now at a dim magnitude 6, so binoculars or a telescope are necessary.

Mars and Comet ZTF are meeting tonight and tomorrow. This is a look at tomorrow night around 8 pm EST.

Anyone going to attempt to catch this?

I'm going to have to do a wide field shot and will have to go somewhere other than my backyard due to trees and houses in that location.

I got a *slightly better* shot of the green comet on Monday night (my last night in St Maarten), shooting as soon as the sky got dark & before the just-past-full moon came up. (3 seconds @ ISO 1600.) I call this one "Unambiguous Splotch of Pixels." ;) (Still couldn't see it with binoculars; d'oh!)
