I'm sharing this here as it might help a lot of people trying to process those pesky comet shots. I tried different things to extract the tail details from the trailing stars and sky background and just figured out that the easiest way to do it without damaging the tail details too much is to use the motion blur in Photoshop and align the direction with the tail direction. The star trails are almost perpendicular to the streamers so you can blur them out without blurring the tail.

If any of the gurus have a better way to do it by any mean jump in and share your thoughts.
