Odille, what program are you using? C/2012 S1 is in the current "MPEC list of observable comets" and TheSky6, C2A, CdC and Stellarium find it. Don't use the Stellarium individual object lookup. The numbers it gets at the moment appear to be strange.

Once you find it, go to Nov 24 1023, 05:10:00 and you'll see Mercury, Saturn, C/2012 S1, 2P/Enke, P/2011 B1 and 33311 Deucalion within a 7x7 degree area.
