But I think I need a bigger scope for that.
You don't need a big scope to find comets Justin Tilbrook (finder of 2 comets) used an 8" f/6 scope. And Bill Bradfield (finder of 18 comets) used a 6" Refractor, to find many of his comets... You just have to be looking in the right spot at the right time
