Hi,
I do timelapse movies on comets sometimes.

If it's possible you can do a 1 point align on the comet core. The the star background will move. Or you can align on a star, the the comets move.

Fitswork is simple to use, I have a tutorial here and the software is free to download:

An alternative is AstroImageJ, more difficult to use but have some advantages:

Here is one example of a comet video, not very good, more a test:
