CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Hunting of Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)

Post by leslie128 »

My first attempt of C/2022 E3 (ZTF) at Changi, Singapore was on 15 Jan 2023, 0445 hrs but due to cloudy weather, the result was far from acceptable.
I went to Changi again and the 1st image was captured on 17 Jan 2023, 0545 hrs.
