Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) - I am still quite happy with the result. Especially considering the weather conditions and the short time frame in the morning hours.

The weather conditions were not very good between 5:00 and 6:00, when i shot the photos. I did only leave the house and tried it, because it might have been the only chance to capture this comet.
