Debbie for small comets (and even largish ones), a 50mm lens is too short. Go with at least a 135mm.
Using a 50mm lens, Hale-Bopp was only 1" long on a 3"x5" print. With a 135 it almost filled the frame.
And, better still, with just 135 mm of focal length you can be _much_ less concerned about polar alignment. Patrick
