It depends. Comets change size. When the comet is distant it will be small so then is the time to use your telescope. If the comet gets very large when close then you won't be able to fit it all in the field of view of your telescope, especially if it has a long tail. Then you only need an ordinary camera lens.

Your 150/750 F5 scope is very good for most comets.
