About this image

It has taken me a good 24 hours to work out how to process comet and stars without losing one or the other and with a balanced colour. This is comet combined and then stars combined recombined using some black arts to remove the star trails!

Great pic. I was wondering which software did you use to separate then combine comet with stars?
