Revision title: Reprocessed by removing Stars with Starnet2 from the Comet Aligned Subs

Having a clear night for the first time since beginning of 2023 and now that this comet is visible from the Southern Hemisphere, was able to pick up 15 subs. As we get into February, the comet will rise in degrees in our skies and so hopefully after the next cyclone, due this Sunday, clears I will have another chance. Definitely need moonless skies and more subs to pick up more of the tail.

Pretty happy to have been contacted by NZ 1News reporter asking to feature this image in tonight's Television report about the Comet. (11 Feb 2023)

Title: Reprocessed by removing Stars with Starnet2 from the Comet Aligned Subs

Description: First version used CometAlignment process to create comet aligned subs, stack all comet aligned with Image Integration and then subtract the Integration file in the second CometAlignment process to get only Star subs (ie. less the comet). In this version, I did not do the 2nd Comet Alignment process but rather removed stars from each individual 'comet aligned sub' using Starnet2. Afterwards, stacked all 'starless comet subs' and processed & then used StarXterminator to extract a Starfield from the initial full star aligned subs including both stars and comets. Combined the two in Pixelmath.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
