Comet, Moon & Mars

By Chuck McPartlin

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was an easy object Monday night in binoculars.

Above is a shot exposed for 30 seconds at ISO 6400 with a DSLR attached to a 5-inch f/6.3 refractor. Get out and take a look!

Moon Occults Mars

The Moon occulted the planet Mars on Monday night from our point of view. Here is what it looked like, assembled from a sequence of images exposed for 1/125 second at ISO 200 with a DSLR attached to a 5-inch f/6.3 refractor.

The images were spaced at approximately 1 minute intervals around the ingress and egress of Mars.
