There is also an excellent picture at the following site that shows a
wide angle shot of the sky with the constellations Cassiopeia and
Perseus with lines drawn to connect the stars of the constellation and
Comet Holmes circled.  With this image you can't miss locating the
comet.  Go to

  Webster, the easy way is to find the bright star Capella in the
eastern sky. 
It is low on the horizon at about 8PM in western USA.

Look a little to the right and move straight up with binoculars. The
stars 
will be light pinpoints.... But 17P will be considerably larger and
FUZZY. 
It stands out easily from the pinpoint stars. It is nowhere near zenith,

well below.

Just sweep up and down and slightly to the right above Capella until you
see 
something that does not look like it is in focus...... that will be 17P.
