Well here's the story, it doesn't appear that the coordinates of this object match well with the previous orbit of the comet I was looking for. It appears that it may be a new object. Unfortunately, with only 2 images collected so far, it's impossible to accurately calculate the orbit. I can at least project where it should be if it continues with the same velocity it had last night. That's good enough to find it on a successive night like tonight, but not necessarily good enough as the nights go on. So hopefully I can find a way to reacquire it tonight and compute the orbit, otherwise it has a good chance of being lost.
