You can’t miss Orion. Three bright stars in a straight line are at the center of the constellation (the belt). The eye is drawn to it. With a pair of binoculars you can make out the Orion nebula just below the belt.

It’s also best to stay out in the dark for 30 minutes so your eyes can adjust appropriately.

Saw the comet easily with binoculars under a half moon and am in a badly light polluted area, it looked as bright as the Andromeda Galaxy. When the Moon is waning, I’ll go see it from a dark-sky site...should be incredible!
