Some great pictures here and the telescope used is great too! For others who live in more light polluted areas, their experiences were less than thrilling when viewing the comet. https://forums.space.com/threads/how-to-see-green-comet-c-2022-e3-ztf-as-it-approaches-earth.59705/

Great telescopes and very dark sky sites are needed, glad for this report by space.com and the images taken from sites like that.
