C/2022 E3 (ZTF) 2022-Jun-24 Dan Bartlett

You've seen the animation (https://vimeo.com/724294903 in case you haven't), here are the cropped and reoriented 118 x 90 seconds of "hard to find" stacked images of C/2022 E3 ZTF at its closest to globular cluster M56. I've included the inverted image to help locating the comet and I think it looks cool.
