Hi Starcrazzy,
Comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 is currently in Bootes, and will shortly be moving through Serpens Caput and into Corona Borealis.
On the below website, I am maintaining a page that is following the almost daily developments in this fascinating comet.

I also have an article in the current May issue of Australian Sky & Telescope which details the positions (RA / Dec + Constellation) as well as finder charts.
It's an apparition I've been looking forward to for more than a decade.
