Chris sorry to hear you were unsuccessful in locating the comets this morning, were you using low power in the scope?
Seeing there is a lack of wide view simple charts specifically for the southern hemisphere on the net, I have created two for tomorrow (sunday) morning and one for monday morning using SNP.
As mentioned before, for a more detailed close up chart please visit

One tip I would give when not using a goto system, and just doing it the old fashioned starhopping method, is use a pair of binoculars (preferably large for these two) to locate them first before using scope, if possible.
I know not everyone has large binocs lying around, but at the prices they are today, I dont understand how any serious observer cant afford them.
I have been using my andrews 20x80 triplet for these two, and other binocular comets, and I love them. You dont need superb optics binocs to enjoy casual viewing of bright binocular comets I have found, although that would be nice to have. There not much good for anything else tho IMO
.
I mean he has 20x80s for 150 bucks!!! omg! thats the price of an eyepiece LOL. anything over 50mm (the more aperture the better - but if you dont have a mount and have to handhold it, dont go too big , 60 - 70mm would be nice as well,)
