Ron,
Not really. It's a standard webcam which gives streaming video (AVI) at 1/60 or 1/30 sec exposure. You may be lucky if the Comet was bright enough to be able to use RegistxV5 to stack and enhance. The solution would be a webcam modified for long exposure...this would then allow a, say, 10 sec+ exposure to image faint Comets and DSO's.
The FOV due to the small chip size would also be a factor.
