If so, you need to import your files lights dark frames etc, I use tiffs.

Check all images.
Then register light frames. make sure to deslect auto stacking before registering.
Then click on the first light frame, when it's up a panel will come up on the right side of the image.
Select comet, drag the cursor of the comet holding down the shift key as you do it. If you don't do this it will stack on stars only.
Do this for all light frames then stack.
You may end up with artifacts to clean up like false colours in the centre of bright stars and the comet.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Justin.
well thats a phone a friend answer thanks very much Justin, will try that tonight
