Description

In the past, I have been using PixInsight's  Comet Alignment process to produce round stars and a clean comet, but with mixed results.
I suspected that the new StarXTerminator process could be helpful and this is what I used here. Although it's a bit tedious, especially in LRGB instead of OSC, I am very satisfied with the results. With more practice, I should be able to refine this process.
