This is the link to the on-line planitarium that I use. You will need java for it to operate.

Down load and setup location. You will need long and lattitudes.

These are some maps of the sky where the comet will be found.

On these maps you will see numbers marked in degrees. Oriantate planitatium to the degrees to get bearings of stars and the general direction of where to look for comet.
