I'm thinking it might be fun to try to photograph this comet. However, it seems like it might be rather difficult, at least during this first go-around. Apparently, for those of us in the northern hemisphere, it will be a few degrees above the east-southeast horizon for about 30 minutes before sunrise on the 27th of September and October 2nd. That suggests to me that it could be really beautiful shooting conditions, or extremely difficult shooting conditions that wouldn't be worth getting out of bed for.

What would be the best way to shoot something like this? Wide angle? Zoom? Would an ND filter be helpful to get a really long exposure? I think if it were higher in the sky it would be more straight forward. I'm just not sure how to approach this one. Sometime around October 12th, it should be positioned more to the west. It might be easier to shoot then.
