You guys want to see a comet?

  

 You can just barley see the comet Holmes at this time.  With an  ordinary set of binoculars you'll get an excellent view.  

  

 Right now its in the constellation Perseus very near the center star  Melotte.  Can't find Perseus or Melotte?  Draw a stright line between  Polaris (North star) and the Pleiades (a tight group of 6 stars).  About  6/10 on the way to the Pleiades, you'll see Melotte slightly  above the line.  If you're looking to the NE in the early evening, the  comet will be below and left not quite a finger width away.  Right now its  looks like a fuzz ball with just the barest of a tail that you can only see with  binoculars.  Later it'll get a tail.  Right now it can just be  seen with the necked eye.
