Photography help needed before I go get a comet tonight

Hi all! Can anyone help me? I have a old 35mm SLR and need to know how to use it. I wasted 2 rolls of film last saturday night and got 1 good photo.

The camera is in thumbs below with all the gobbledygook on it that really means nothing to me.

I have a celestron nexstar 11 with a camera adaptor for prim focus photography, as well as the zoom lens on the camera itself to ride piggyback on the scope.

1.What is the best exposure time, aperture and film speed for the camera and its own lens, for the comet after dark?

2.How does this change when I take the lens off and put it on the scope for prime focus?

The focus screen in the camera is pretty course by comparison to newer cameras.

Heeeeelllllppp.
