Details:
In just three days the observed morphology of Comet 2022 E3 ZTF has changed. The anti-tail and ion tail are much reduced as the comet continues to brighten and the perspective from Earth to the comet continues to change as the comet rapidly moves across the northern sky. Early morning dew and mist has been a problem often blotting out the sky well before dawn limiting the observing window to the very early hours.
All three images are stacked 20 sec x 50 captured with a Vixen VSD 100 mm astrograph lens and a Nikon Z7II camera.
