This is my rig imaging of comet C/2022 E3 ZTF. Yellow bars indicate the location of the object. It was low, 7 degrees above horizon in the light dome of Tokyo. The data were terrible, and I did not use them for the frame of the comet below.

site: 733m above sea level at lat. 35 22 03 North and long. 138 32.59 East in Asagiri Highland 静岡県朝霧高原. Ambient temperature was around 5 degrees Celsius or 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Wind was mild. SQML reached 21.08. Seeing was bad, and guide error RMS was around 3" at the low elevation in the sky. The view was open toward the direction there, but the site was not suitable for imaging of rising comets.
