Not easy objects either of those two. C/2013 V1 (Boattini) is around magnitude 14 and needs a 16" telescope to barely see it and 290p/Jager is about mag 12 and needs a 10" to barely see it.
You might have just a chance at photographing 290p/Jager but Boattini barely shows up on deep CCD images. Jager is also low in the northern sky.
Not many good comets around at the moment. C/2012 X1 (LINEAR) at mag 9 might just be visible low in the east just before dawn, along with C/2013 R1 (LOVEJOY) Mag 7+ in a week or so.
