C/2022 E3 (ZTF) 2023-Jan-14 Ludovic Perbet

Pointed with VIXEN 125 mm at X 54. Indeed it is there, precisely at the place indicated by Sky.

Details :
- Diameter: What stands out for me, on a greyish background, is roughly equal to the distance of the two nearby stars TYC 3056... <=> HD 141068, i.e. 2'5 (indicated by Sky) (Very much lower than the last estimate made by Michel D.)
- Magnitude: By defocusing, it supports the disappearance of HD 141068 of m = 7.84. So for me, I estimate it at m=7.5 (For m=7.1 indicated...)
- Description: Center/Core quite marked but not very shiny, which I would see centered. Head / Coma diffuse with a diameter of 2'5 rather circular. Despite slight lateral movements, but because of the presence of the moon, I really have difficulty detecting a tail over a length +/- equal to the diameter. (Drawing)
Impossible for me to see a second tail and some colors?!...
