a green object is in the middle of the night sky

On 1st February 2023, Comet C/2022 E3 was at it's closes point to earth. I went out in my garden at around 11pm and scoured the night sky to try and find this very faint smudge in the sky (as that's how the comet appears initially). I took multiple photos between 2.5 seconds exposure and 0.8 seconds exposure and then stacked them to bring out as much of the green as I could. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, quite literally as it won't be seen again for 50,033 years!
