Provia 100 is an excellent daylight and star trails slide film.  Try
shooting at f/5.6 for 4 hours to start and see what you get.

NPL - never tried it.

NPS 160 is also a good daylight and star trails print film.  Chris Cook
has taken several star trails shots with this film.

NPH - Never tried it.

NPZ 800 is very good for meteors, and I believe that Philip Perkins has
also tried it out for deep space work.  This could be good film for
comets as well, especially if you want to shoot short exposures and not
try to (or can't) guide on the nucleus.
