Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)

Out of 270 shots intended for a video of the comet I have stacked just four images for this picture.
The video may never come to be as I cannot find a piece of S/W which will let me stretch the shots in batch mode as well as creating the video file out of the .fit files coming form my camera. Unfortunately PIPP, which I intended to use, is unable to handle the files correctly, so ...

If you happen to know of a method which is not very costly (like PixInsight) I would love to hear about it in the comments.

Edit: For revision B I used DSS's Comet Stacking mode to stack 28 subs aligning both the comet and the stars in one go. The resulting image is less noisy than the first try which was based on only four exposures. Thanks to @Nico Carver for reminding me of this slightly hidden functionality in Deep Sky Stacker. You may find his video on how to do this on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfIZSt5NKl0

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.
