How to track a comet?

G'day all,

Anyone able to help me with how to track a comet?

Because I want to photograph it using my ST7, I cannot track it using the guide chip (off-set). So I am thinking the only way would be to use some sort of program to get the telescope actually tracking the comet's theoretical movement?



I could take a series of very short exposures, autoguiding using the primary chip inbetween, but that doesn't seem like such a good solution.

Thanks,
Roger.
