Comet C/2022 E3 ZTR (Explore #94) - a photo on Flickriver

Comet C/2022 E3 ZTR (Explore #94)

            Say hello to Comet C/2022 E3 ZTR, the one with the catchy name. If you don't see it this time, you can catch it again in another 50,000 years.

It is believed diatomic carbon is present in the head of the comet. When excited by incoming solar radiation, it emits photons (packets of light) at wavelengths we see to be green. Cool!

I joined Miguel D last night for a 4hr drive to Point Arena to find the coldest, darkest spot we could, then shoot this baby, then drive back home. A good time was had by all.

Lens is the 645 A* 600mm f/5.6 with 1.4x teleconverter on the 645Z. ISO 16,000, 3sec, f/6.3. 44 images are stacked for mathematical noise reduction using Sequator.
