Since the city pollution afftect a lot each signle picture, I didn't find a suitable way to remove the Gradient and the Background of the stacked pictures. The result was really ugly if I would have applied any background removal. So, the final image is disappointing me, even though this is my first comet shooting session with my telescope. I would prefer to find a good way to remove the background to better highlight the comet and its tail. Applying DBE on each picture did not improve anything, it was even worse than doing nothing !
