comet capture

Adam,
in your videos, do you provide best practices for capturing comet data?
I can't help but feel a little lost on this. 
I never really know what I should do - exposure length - rotate through filters or not - track comet - or not - is luminance necessary - or not - 
These are the kinds of uncertainties I wonder if you cover?
Because when my processing fails, I often wonder if my errors at capture time are a contributing factor, 

thanks,
Malcolm

    Have you reviewed my comet tutorials in Horizons?
    Some of the information is there. 
    I think the idea is good to talk about acquisition though- unlike other subjects, comet processing is more strongly affected by acquisition methods than other objects.

    yes, but I have been wondering if I could inspire you to address this specifically :D
