Very well done Craig.
I was too lazy to chase it tonight and played with Orion and Jupiter with the new filter.

Hello Marc,
Thank you , I use a Celestron GT 2000 Drive with a bracket I made up.
The mount has a dovetail receiver and locking screw so it assembles in a New York minute.

Thank you very much Jim, I'll be out there tonight after those two also.
Good hunting, It will be between Aldebaran and Pleiades and a little to the west.
I used 150mm to locate then zoomed in to 550mm and the tail trails a good amount to the East.

Cotondog, thank you very much. Yes a lot of shoot and search, shoot and search. When I finally got it in a frame I was pretty excited, my first Comet photo.

Just one more question. How much did you crop these?

No Cropping of either one.
A little Lightroom and Topaz to sharpen and Noise Reduction.
