Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) has been making the rounds in mainstream media. It's estimated that the nucleus is about 1 km across and has a tail that extends for millions of kilometers. I wasn't able to see it naked eye last night and through the eyepiece of my telescope it was a fuzzball due to the bright moonlight washing everything out. I hope to have another chance at it on a moonless night next week.
