The astronomers working at Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) at the Palomar Observatory in California discovered this comet. Astro photographers have started capturing stunning pictures of the comet as it is set to reach its closest point to Earth on 2nd February, 2023. An Indian astro photographer has also captured its photos and titled this project ‘Three Days in the Life of a Comet’. The images were captured between 27th December, 2022 and 29th December, 2022. He made use of Takahashi FSQ 106 ED telescope and a FLI PL16083 camera to capture these images. He also used Astrodon LRGB filters for the same. The pictures have been captured from the IC Astronomy Observatory which is located in the Tabernas desert in Spain. It is one of those places on Earth which are said to have the most clear nights.
