2-10-2023 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

by helicon

"Comet C/2022 (E3) ZTF a half year later.

Today's featured report is courtesy of Bigzmey (Andrey) who describes his impressions of the comet ZTF originally observed 6 months ago through his big SCT. At magnitude 12.5 and around one arc minute in diameter it was not particularly impressive and required a large aperture just to be detected. When all of the hype started about the "green" comet he didn't realize it was actually the same object! However, on a recent evening he was able to catch it not far from the stars of Auriga. Much brighter now, it reveals a bit of detail and the hint of a tail. Soon to be departing these environs and headed out to the distant reaches of the solar system it's a good idea to catch it before it's gone! Congratulations Andrey on winning the VROD for the day!
