I've been looking forward to the appearance of comet C2022E3 ZTF's appearance in the northern sky near Ursa Minor. The late January Maryland weather has been iffy at best with mostly cloudy weather forecasts. Fortunately, on 1/27 the skies cleared despite a partly cloudy forecast and around 10:30 PM EST the comet was just high enough and clear of a neighbor's north blocking tree to catch the image below. Some light pollution from a nearby, poorly shielded street lamp managed to invade an otherwise dark sky background. Several to be revisited Orion Season DSOs also follow.
