Green comet

Comet C2022/E3 (ZTF) or the green comet as mentioned in the news was captured on the night of Friday (1/27) from my front yard. The relative movement of the comet over that time can be seen as the background stars made startrails.

In the second image, the processing was done a little differently to suppress the stars and that makes the comet's dust tail more prominent.

Perseid meteor showers - Aug 2022

On the night of Aug 13th, set up my camera to capture Perseid meteor showers. Over 5 hours, caught 3 meteors and about 2 hours of continuous cloudless sky to make a startrails image.

Startrails photo

One of my photos was published in the newsletter for a local land preservation trust, Lyme Land Trust. I have plenty of publications for my professional work but this recognition of my hobby makes me feel very happy.

Here is the original photo that was captured back in the end of March 2022. It is a stack of 30 second exposures totaling to about 2 hours.
