“Fortunately, amateur astronomers can optimize their chances of glimpsing the fleeting light show by following several tips.

First, they should initially look toward the Northern Crown, a parabola-shaped constellation situated west of the Hercules constellation, Fox News reports.

They can then trace a straight line from the two brightest stars in the Northern Hemisphere — Arcturus and Vega — which will lead them to the Hercules constellation and the Corona Borealis, where the Blaze of glory will be most visible. It will look like a new star has appeared in the sky.”

Amateur astronomers have been observing T CrB for decades; they can "glimpse" the star any time they want with even smallish telescopes. It sits around magnitude 10. That's not hard even for small telescopes.
