    Try 10h29m22s, 11°47'53" - about 4° west and 1° south of Regulus. Yes, it is about 1° from Mars tonight. The comet is presently moving toward the southwest along a path somewhat more steeply inclined in declination than is the ecliptic.

    It is still too faint to be seen by anything but a quite large telescope (at least 10 inches aperture. Any good planetarium program will print a chart for you, or you can get a good chart from the site below.
