till in the process of processing the 87 x 90 seconds of this comet from a night ago.  Integrating the comet-centered data  from the CometAlignment process in PixInsight shows some interesting detail (as well as star trailing artifacts) in the left most image 1/3 scale. 

Right image (Small inset full resolution):  After applying HDRMT to the image . 

I will continue to process the data integrating the starfield with the comet-only image shortly.
