Oklahoma weather guy said around 8:20pm a few days ago, but I couldn’t see it with binoculars. We have clouds so I won’t see it tonight either.

I caught this photo the evening of the 13th. It's actually a little blurry, but it'll do. The comet is near the horizon to the right of the moon. To the lower left much closer to the moon is a plane, I think. I didn't notice it when I took the photo, but it's a 4 second exposure. The comet looked somewhat better in my 9x63 binoculars, but was visible for just a few minutes ... with binoculars, that is ... nowhere near naked eye visibility. 43 miles due west of Midway Airport.
