Thanks guys! Thanks to your descriptions and maps my wife and I saw our first comet.
It was clear in our 10x30 binoculars as a fuzzy circle.
Star hopping we went from Beta hydrus, which was the nearest naked eye star where we were. Then in the binoculars moved to the left to three stars gamma-octans. Put these 3 stars at 2 o'clock and the comet was at 7 o'clock.
Cool.
