First attempt at imaging a comet - C/2022 E3 (ZTF)

[StuartT]

The comet alignment process in PI works very nicely! Although when integrating, I couldn't manage to get the rejection algorithm (Winsorised sigma clipping) to deal with absolutely all the star streaks. Overall, reasonably happy with this one.

100 x 30 sec (sidereal tracking), Esprit 150 ED APO (reduced to 808mm f/5.4). No filter. ASI2600MC Pro

Nice one Stuart. Since I decided to have a go at this it's been cloudy... Who'd have thought it....
