I agree with Nick – get out there, and perhaps pray the evening before for good weather. The object is clearly visible to the naked-eye as a point object (you can pick it up by just scanning the sky by eye in the right area), but through binoculars it is transformed into the classic comet appearance. Leaves a real impression. I used 10 x 50 bins which framed it nicely.
