I have been doing astrophotography for a while now, but I want to get more advanced with it. I heard comet photography was hard, so I gave ZTF a shot and it looks pretty good straight out of the stack. Though, since comet photography is a little different (with combining two stacks for the stars and the comet, and removing background stuff), should I use PixInsight or Photoshop to process it? And are there any advanced comet processing tutorials out there for PixInsight? (I can only seem to find complete beginner ones). I am pretty familiar with both pieces of software and have both. Thanks!

I used the comet alignment process in PI for the first time yesterday, it works really well and the documentation on it is reasonably easy to follow.
