Hi Niranjan,
I would suggest not using aperture priority. Instead use manual
exposure. I would suggest a lens wide open to get as much light as
possible. Probably about 20 second exposure to avoid movement of the comet
but still getting lots of light into the camera. Then experiment with ISO.
Probably starting at 3200
Aperture priority will get confused with the dark sky and would likely
overexpose the comet.
Sadly I am in Australia and can not see this comet. Maybe in another life
in 6800 years.
cheers
