Thank you Phillip.
Trevor, the comet was not tracked. The shot was taken like any other, but the comet is moving so fast that it was a small line (as opposed to a dot) on every 5 minute frame. 2 minutes would have been better. Over the 25 minutes it was pretty elongated and It took some Photoshop magic to get it back to looking normal again.
