My first shot at the comet C/2022 E3 ZFT. The stars are streaks because I aligned on the comet to show the movement of it against the stars.

Very nice.
I'm curious - does star saturation work with star streaks too?

Nice image! You even have the tail visible in your image.

I am imaging it now. It's noticeably moving across the frame.
