Note what appears to be an elongated comet head.
(The horizontal orientation shown in the next frame is to provide an easier view.)

Note that I tracked on the comet head itself and not the stars.
So, any stretching of stars is due to the comet moving (I surmise).

In previous versions, I tracked (guided) on the stars and any movement of the comet head itself was undetectable because it was a blob.
