Hi Mirrorgirl,
Unfortunately that's not a comet, that middle star is Alnitak and you have the reflection of the star Alnilam (mag 1.7) in the top right corner.

also that's not a star in top right hand corner its just where I enhanced the comet in photoshop do you think it could be a comet

Nope, it’s definitely Alnilam. If it were a comet it would be a bright one and would certainly have been catalogued and you would see lots of images taken of it by now.

Once again, not comets. Most likely that's either a tumbling satellite or some kind of aircraft, but it's not showing any any collision light flashes or red or green position lights so most likely it's a tumbling satellite. If there were three comets in a row in the night sky like that the entire planet would be a buzz about it.

Never hurts to try!

The comet hunters of old (like Messier himself) would have been proud.
