Attention Green Comet Visitors
Attention friends. There might be one or more interruptions in submissions to the Green Comet blog over the next couple of weeks. It's almost certain that I won't be publishing the next Okanagan Reader installment on time. We are moving house and when you do that,

Potential bright (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) just *might* light up our skies in mid-October 2024 if it survives a close spin around our star. Like the , we do try to lower expectations, but we're always excited to see a new comet!

Night Soil — First Intermission
I like this part. It's when I get to see what the story looks like from the "outside." I'm a quarter of the way through this novel, tentatively titled Vin Stone -- Night Soil, and it looks like so f

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.🥰

This image is pretty much a nightmare to edit, but I managed to power through and get a decent image. Mars is *bright* and shows up with several layers of large, bright halos. To remove this, I had to go crazy with the CloneStamp tool and I'm not good at this sort of editing, so I had to darken the background all the way to black. I'll probably take another swing at editing it, but I need to take a break and work on some other stuff.

Went hunting for the last night. Won’t be back for 50K years (if then), so best look now!

Well it's nothing to write home about, but here's C2022 E3 ZTF in frame with Mars. I cropped the image so that Mars is centered in the right third and the comet is centered in the left third. Yeah, that.

Oh my, the comet heading toward Mars! (not really, just from our vantage point) This is a short live stack, so assuming the clouds stay away, the final image should be much better.

I saw the ! With my naked eyes, under my Bortle class 7 sky, but still!

It's a freezing cold, very clear night, and I used two apps to confirm that this tiny prick of light really is "C/2022 E3 (ZTF)", and I of course didn't take a picture, but I can hereby confirm that it is there and still visible.
