My image of comet C/2022 E3 ZTF, taken Feb 1st from the back yard. It's gained some press lately, but was unfortunately not visible to the naked eye unless you were in some really dark skies. I was only able to capture a faint remnant of its ion tail. Comets have some unique challenges in imaging them. Namely, they move at a different rate across the sky relative to the stars. It requires editing the same image twice, once for the stars, and once for the comet, and combining them.
