I had hoped to capture an image of comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) during the brief break in the clouds on Jan. 23, but it was too low in the sky — barely 10 deg above the horizon. Instead, I took a few photos of the Orion Nebula. The photo below was taken with our Atik 314L+ color CCD camera mounted on the 90 mm aperture refractor that’s piggy-backed on our 16 in. Schmitt-Cassegrain. It’s a single 30-second exposure. The color is nice.
