How to Image a Comet?

Seeing that there has been a couple of great images of Comet Boattini C/2007 W1 that have been posted in the imaging forum. I am thinking to have a go at imaging it.

The only problem is that I am bit unsure on how to go about it. Is it just like imaging any other celestial object? …or is there a special procedure for imaging a comet?

Seeing that my setup can only handle fairly short exposures I am wondering if I will I be able to capture any kind of detail?


I'm a little confused.
