Note: The top frame is a composite of the stacked image of the comet,
and a singlebackground frame.
Comet was moving so fast that the stars could not be blended together to form
lines.
Guiding was on a background star, then each individual image was aligned on the
comet head.
The space between the stars was caused by the download time
between frames on the bottom image.
