Summary: Why not do a darkroom composite?


I have not yet seen the suggestion of doing a darkroom composite.
Take one picture of the comet, a light object on a dark background.
Take one picture of your kids.  On a black background.  The dark
backgrounds will be clear in the negatives.  Overlay the two
negatives and print.   (Or double expose the print with various
darkroom magic.  Like a cutout about the size and placement of the
kids layed on the paper when printing the comet...)

Even if you don't plan on doing this as the primary approach, I
would suggest that you take a few pictures of the comet that could
be put together this way.  Just as insurance...
