Comet C/2022 E3 over 3 nights

[Geochron (Jon)]

Here is comet C/2022 E3 as seen from Melbourne, over 3 successive nights. The images are certainly becoming less noisy as it rises higher into the sky but I am still hoping for more detail. I guess we were spoiled by all the N. hemisphere images

Each image represents about an hour of integration with RASA 8, ASI 183MC Pro and Celestron LP filter. Subs vary from 10 to 30 seconds (still experimenting a bit here). Trying to guide on the comet but still having a few issues...

luckily we have an uninterrupted northern horizon and so, as long as there is no cloud over the ranges, all is good.
