C/2022 E3 (ZTF) Hyades 2023 Feb-15 Dan Bartlett

A Trip by the Underworld, Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) and the Hyades, 2023-02-15

You can't make these things up. What a mess! And the angle it took to fit the comet in with the Hyades is simply absurd as the Rokinon 135/asi294mcP was piggybacked on the RASA11 and the GM2000. Glad the boss wasn't around since I must have ran outside (9 degree F) and back to the upstairs computer 50 times for centering and focus. (I'm use to the typical 0 or 90 degree camera angle, up/down or left right).

Weather may open up a bit over the weekend but all the really interesting conjunctions maybe done for a while as this comet fades into our memories.
