A beautiful image!  Very inspiring.

How does one put an image like this together?  I know how to use the Horizons app but I don’t know how to put the subframes together to get a result like this.  I use PixInsight to calibrate and stack.

Dean a good tutorial for PI is one from Adam Block 

Basically you create two masters, one is the comet, one is the stars, process them differently, and then combine

This video was done prior to StarXTerminator, which may be a better solution than starnet2

Wonderful. Thank you.

I should have known that Adam Block would have a tutorial.  Almost everything I know about image processing was learned by viewing his tutorials over the years.

Now off to view the tutorial…
