Just a quick hop over to see if I could pick up comet C2019 Y4 ATLAS. Managed to take 60 x 30sec lights. I kept the subs short as I didn’t want the Comet or the stars to smear when it came to processing. Processed using Pixinsight’s Comet alignment process just for the Comet and then overlaid this on a separately stacked background so I could keep the stars.

This is a larger selective crop of the full frame above.
