- turn off IS on the lens and camera if you are using a tripod.
- use self-timer or remote shutter to reduce camera shake
- when it's windy, keep the tripod low.
- manual exposure

I got good results with
ISO400, 35mm, f4, 10s on 1.6 crop and
ISO800, 50mm, f4, 5s on 1.6 crop.

But that depends on the visibility and brightness of the sky. Just
experiment. Even if the comet seems quite faint, It might be very visible
on the image. A darker sky might help getting better contrast, but you
could lose detail of the landscape, so experiment the the time of day also.
