C/2022 E3 (ZTF) 2022-Sep-22 Dan Bartlett

C/2022 E3 ZTF on 2022-09-22. I've captured four recent nights of this comet with the most stable & transparent night being this one. As what I like to do, I've included an inverted color image so the viewer might coax out any subtitle details not readily apparent in the familiar presentation.

And again I'm presenting the HDRMT panels with the various pixel layers filtered (annotated in each side panel) of the comet-only image from this night. These images might look overly processed, however the only additional process applied to the comet stacked image is HDRMT in PixInsight. I'm hoping to see changes of the tail & jet-like structures over the months of imaging this comet.
