Comet Imaging Session - February 11, 2023 Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF Meets Mars!!!

The sky this evening is clear and the bright Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF meets up with the red planet Mars in the constellation of Taurus! They are close enough that both can fit into the field of a telephoto lens or small telescope. My son and I were able to image it using ZWO ASI294 MC Pro camera on Borg 76ED Refractor with 0.8x reducer / flattener. a total exposure of 3 minutes was made for a quicl upload at Unity Gain and -5 deg C . Better post process image will later be uploaded.
