Do you know what general direction we should look in?

See here.

Don't bother unless you have a scope.

West, around 30 degrees elevation, 10 PM. I've seen the comet the last four nights with binoculars from a not particularly dark site -- urban but trees blocking street lights. Probably visible naked-eye in a dark area.

For directions see the Sky and Telescope map. Use Venus as a starting point to find bright stars if you don't know them. Imagine a vertical line through Procyon, and a line to the left through Castor and Pollux. The comet is a bit above the intersection of the lines.
