My C/2022 E-3 photo

I managed to get a . . . reasonable . . . picture of the comet after a couple nights of fighting clouds. I live in a desert in the sunniest place on earth - officially - and I almost didn't have a chance to shoot!
I used a Celestron C11 with a Hyperstar attachment feeding a ZWO ASI458MC camera. I exposed for 3.4 seconds times 25 frames with a camera gain of 225 in SharpCap 4. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker using dark frames.
A little bit of photoshop afterwards, and here is the result.
Really wish I could have displayed a tail. Just could not get it.

Very nice.
It has been cloudy here, even though the weather man said clear.
I was wanting to look to see if it was visible from here above the mountains in the way possibly.
Like the shot, thx for sharing.

Below zero out, I'm having a cinnamon donut & Black Rifle coffee (BLACK!)in a warm bed, enjoying your excellent photo! Saved me the hassle of trying to find dark sky on a frigid, cloudy night the last couple of nights, thanks for posting!

Nice image, but with the moon so bright it probably makes the tail hard to get.
