Comet C/2012 K5 (LINEAR) at 08:08:00 01/03/2013 UTC

21 x 60s

calibrated / initial registration in Pixinsight 1.7

comet registration in DeepSkyStacker 3.3.3 beta 47, exported registered images

comet-registered images stacked in Pixinsight 1.7 (very restrictive pixel rejection)

FFT -> erase diagonal lines -> Inverse FFT (remove remaining star streaks)

 

star-registered images stacked in Pixinsight 1.7 + DBE

 

images combined with pixelmath (max(stars,comet)

histogram tweaks, curves

 

i had taken about 90 minutes worth of 60s exposures intending to make a movie. i'm still struggling with doing a histogram transformation on these 90 images in some automatic way. so i thought i'd stack some of them and see what i could get out of them in a still image.
