Once I process the images and see what the stacked version looks like I'll post here. Probably will take a day or two before I get the time to do the processing.

Comet C/2022 E3 seems to be dimming
Skies cleared just enough this evening to set up my equipment and capture some more subs of comet C/2022 E3. What seems to be immediately obvious is that the comet is dimming. Although it could be due to thin clouds, or the moon's interference, initial examination of the raw images show a marked decrease in intensity of the coma and the fan-like dust tail. The individual subs show no sign of the ion tail. Some of this is also due to the geometry of comet's orbit as well.
