COMET C/2022 P3 (ZTF)
B. T. Bolin, on behalf of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF)
Collaboration, reports the discovery of a comet in survey images taken on Aug.
2 UT by ZTF (I41), noting a 3".5 condensed coma and a broad 7" tail at position
angle 210-230 deg. Additional report was provided by H. Sato from iTelescope
Observatory (H06) on follow-up images taken on Aug. 8 UT, noting a very
condensed 8" coma in 14 stacked 60-sec exposures.
