Re: broken up comet approaching earth

If you are trackig the comet the exposure's duration can be of any
length. If you are tracking the stars, however, the maximum length will
depend on how fast the fragments will appear to move with respect to
the stars. Not knowing this and what setup you're using is impossible
to give an answer more precise.
