I imaged Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) early Saturday morning after moonset. The green color due to ultraviolet excitation of diatomic carbon from organic compounds is prominent. A short, broad tail is visible.

11 2-minute subs plus calibration frames were stacked with DeepSkyStacker in comet mode. Post-processing used Photoshop and Photoscape X.
