Comet c/2022 e3 (ZTF). It was a clear night. I set my camera up on a tripod on our front porch, and turned out all the lights. I knew the the comet was close to Aldebaran thanks to diagrams in EarthSky. I shot several photos that included both Mars and Aldebaran at various apertures, ISO settings, exposures and exposure compensations. Then I did a small amount of post-processing using Microsoft Photos.
Canon EOS 6D, Canon 75-300mm zoom lens, ISO 10,000, f/7.1, exposure 1 sec, exposure compensation +2.5.
Microsoft Photos, crop, slight increase in brightness and color saturation.
