Don't miss this comet!

There's a comet approaching Earth. It won't be back for tens of thousands of years! So don't miss your chance to photograph it!! I provide details of when, where and how to photography Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF).

Thank you for this video. It's really nice to kick of the new year with such a special event.

[@gregerianne3880]

Great instructions, Martin. Thanks so much!

[@craiglowery4427]

Thank you Martin. I had my Vespera smart telescope out a few nights ago imagining the comet-a civilization level event

[@martynh5410]

Thanks Martin. I hope to see this thing through binoculars. My scope and camera combo are only good for 1/2 degree FOV so may not work well for this comet. Cheers from California. “SUBSCRIBED”

[@martinsastrophotography]

Thanks Martyn! Hope you get a good view. Let me know. Clear skies.

[@putjack3703]

cool, thanks!

[@AstroCloudGenerator]

Thanks for the heads up Martin. Do you have any advice for someone having to use a mono camera? I was going to try 20 second exposures using RGB filters and try my best to stack them.

[@martinsastrophotography]

Sounds reasonable. Will be a bit harder to process I imagine. I would shoot one sub per filter on R then G then B, then repeat.

Hi I'm not into astronomy per se but am an amateur photographer, is there an app I can use on my phone to find it with my 600mm lens ?

[@richardmattas4003]

Martin, do you plan to track the comet with custom tracking in EQMOD or track it with comet tracking in PHD 2? if you do, can you show us? thanks in advance...

[@martinsastrophotography]

Hi Richard. It’s something I am looking into. If I decide to do either of those things I will endeavour to share it.

[@richardmattas4003]

@@martinsastrophotography thanks Martin!

[@martinsastrophotography]

@@richardmattas4003 Hi again Richard. Ok, I will be tracking the comet. I now know how to do this. I will try to do a short video on this in the next day or two.

[@martinsastrophotography]

Hi again. I just made a video…just for you…on how to track the comet!!! Hope it’s helpful. Happy comet hunting.

[@richardmattas4003]

@@martinsastrophotography Thank you! Cheers and Clear Skies!

[@tekn0lust]

Thanks Martin for the video. Do you plan to image the comet with any filters? Here in central US I'll be doing test imaging from a B8 sky in preparation for 2 nights of imaging in late January from B1 skies.

[@martinsastrophotography]

I will be using an unmodified DSLR on one rig, and a mono cooled Astro camera on another rig with R G B filters. Lucky you! Wish I was going to B1 skies!!!

[@mahmoud2622]

Any advise for people using phones trying to capture this ?

[@martinsastrophotography]

Not really. You might see a bright smudge. It’s going to be a real challenge with a phone. good luck!!

[@teresapitts2021]

Unfortunately won't be able to see it due to clouds
