    As Comet ZTF leaves the solar system, I wanted to post a series of images I acquired during its fast trajectory over the past several weeks:

    Moving toward Camelopardis past Ursa Minor (prime focus, 1x30s, ISO 6400)
    ASTRONOMY - COMET ZTF 1-27-23 A CAPTION SM.jpg

    (prime focus, 1x10s, ISO 6400)
    ASTRONOMY - COMET ZTF 1-27-23 B CAPTION SM.jpg

    On the eve of perigee, moving toward Auriga (prime focus, 1x20s, ISO 6400)
    ASTRONOMY - COMET ZTF NEAR PERIGEE 1-31-23 SM.jpg

    Speeding through the plane of the galaxy in Auriga (prime focus, 1x10s, ISO Hi)
    ASTRONOMY - COMET ZTF 2-06-23 SM.jpg

    Headed toward Taurus (prime focus, 1x20s, ISO 3200)
    ASTRONOMY - COMET ZTF 2-08-23 SM.jpg

    In the midst of the Hyades, significantly dimmer (using 70-300mm zoom lens at 210mm, f/5.3, 1x2.5s, ISO 6400)
    ASTRONOMY - COMET ZTF, MARS & ALDEBARAN 2-12-23 CROP A SM.jpg

    (prime focus, 1x10s, ISO Hi)
    ASTRONOMY - COMET ZTF IN THE HYADES (CLOSE) 2-14-23 SM.jpg

    What a journey!

    Clear skies! ;)
