Totally inaccurate...it is not "to the right" of Orion's belt, like it is "just nearby"..it is NOT,...I just saw it around 1am...Southwestern part of our sky. Very much Lower than Orion's Belt,...farther down from even Rigel...had to update Comet information in Stellarium, just to locate it...With my 10x binocs, I saw a "hazy patch", no tail discernible to me...but I knew what it was...and even then so low to the horizon, it was between the branches of a tree....
Best day to find it will be the 2nd...right under Rigel a bit....if Orion were oriented "straight up and down"....I suggest an Astronomy program to show and track it...then you know.
Well, at least I don't have to Re-incarnate in 8000 years to see it!!!!
Really need photography for a great view...that is why I like APOD!!!
