COMET ZTF (C/2022 E3) Taken by Göran Strand on January 22, 2023 @ Östersund, Sweden



Finally I got some clear skies so I could capture comet ZTF. As you can see in my second image, the conditions was not perfect with -20°C and some Northern Lights that was blocking the comet from time to time, so I had to image while the Northern Lights was below the comet. It At the end of the comets tail you cans see galaxy NGC 5907 (also known as Knife Edge Galaxy or Splinter Galaxy), a spiral galaxy located approximately 50 million light years from Earth. Interesting to see the anti tail of the comet is so visible.
