Getting both the comet as the backgroudn stars sharp :
What's needed, or at least, what I used :
- AstroPixelProcessor (APP)
- Starnet ++
- Photoshop
1) APP
a) Stack images of the comet using registration mode "Comet/one star" (Picture 1)
b) Redo integration with "MAD" setting (Picture 2)
c) Redo stacking using registration mode "normal" and restart integration (Picture 3)
2) Starnet++
a) Remove stars using Starnet++ of Picture 3 (Picture 4)
3) Photoshop
a) Load Picture 3 and Picture 4 and "layer" them together
b) Use "Image", "Use Image" and substracted (Picture 5)
c) Load Picture 2 and layer Picture 5
d) Use "Layer", "Layer Style" and linear blending (Picture 6)
Edit Picture 6 as a end result.
