Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

I finally got around to processing the comet shots with the R5 and 100mm lens. The sky was that blue with an almost-full moon rising. This is 32 1-second frames stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker. I have barely used it and was quite pleased with the alignment and NR. Need to dig up some Milky Way files to try.

Specific Feedback

All comments welcome!

32 stacked in SLS, with curves enhancements and further NR. Each frame was a dim smear.

Thanks, @linda_mellor and @JohnSnell ā€“ patience it is, and obsessiveness. But I love that I can see the unseeable.
