Description

PI processing:

120x60 OSC images with Comet filter
Comet alignment, then batch: {
      Crop
      Automatic Background Extractor with degrees 2, 3, 4
      StarXterminator AI v. 6, small overlap (best results vs. comet core, better than later AI versions)
}

Then:

Stacked starless images to integrate comet body
Stacked generated stars images to integrate comet core, CloneStamp to remove residual star artifacts, retaining only comet core
PixelMath sum of comet body+core

Separately added background stars obtained from 60x5s images.
