Observations

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)

After spending time the previous week imaging the comet it was finally in a position early enough in the evening to observe visually. Positioned close to the gaurdians of the pole in Ursa Minor, the comet was easily located despite the patch of sky being positioned between our house and tall neigbouring trees. In binoculars the comet was easily visible as a fuzzy patch with a brighter centre and slight elongation of the dust tail.
