Thanks to Greg for inventing SkyTools, which undergirded this session. I'm still learning how to use it - but I'm already loving it... The unified, curated list, the atlas, the attractive night vision mode... it's all amazing.]]>

When I get the chance to have a look myself, I'm going to try to detect the ion tail and see how far I can follow it. Binoculars may be best for this. I will look at it in the direction that SkyTools draws the tail on the charts. It may be too faint to detect, but it may also be that people are just missing it. If you manage to see it, please post here!]]>

Here's ST4v's description of the naked eye visibility of the comet:

"C/2022 E3 (ZTF) will reach perihelion in mid January. On January 12 this comet will pass within 0.3 AU of the earth. It is predicted to reach maximum brightness of magnitude 5 in late January. The best visibility from Darby Creek 2 near maximum brightness is predicted to be in late January when it will be approximately magnitude 5. On February 1 this comet will be moving quickly across the sky at a peak rate of 16.6 "/min PA 211.2°. Note that future predictions of magnitude and visibility are subject to the unpredictable nature of these objects."

This is a northern hemisphere object as it will pass through Draco & Ursa Minor. Information about this comet is in the Current Comets Observing List for 2023 January.

Good hunting,

Phil S.]]>

I'm sure that you are the only one who can answer this question. In my version of ST - 4.0j R2 - Current Comets is found in the Default folder. Is there a way of moving this list to the Current folder? Actually I tried but it didn't take.
