I wonder where it will be in the night sky. The excerpt doesn’t seem to say.

Between the northern horizon and the Big Dipper. Best viewing is about an hour after sunset.

NW about 15 deg bove the horizon. Find the big dipper, us the top two stars in the bowl and follow them straight down to the horizon. Use binos as it’s not as bright as they let on

Look under the Big Dipper 1 hour after Sunset. Star Guide is a great app, Click on the Magnifying Glass and go to Comets, Select Neowise and point it into the Northwest Sky. It will guide you right there.

Correction. It’s moving so fast it’s now better to use top right/bottom left stars as pointers tonight.
