Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF last night

Not much to look at, last night was very low in the washed out nortern sky with full moonlight. EOS Ra, 12 x 60 secs ISO 400, 6 inch F3.6 Cometracker SN. So much for the "green comet" the N Hemisphere got. Hoping as it climbs and the Moon wanes it will improve.

Nice shot, though I think you're expecting too much from shooting a target low in a full moonlit sky. Colour accuracy will always be difficult to achieve under such conditions. Added to this, there may have been some light pollution as well. Maybe your Ra camera was also giving it a red cast. Good on you for giving it a go, I'll be trying it later in the week if possible, before the moon rises and I'll see what I get.

Hoping that skies will be clear later in the week to allow moon free imaging
