Magnitude 4.6 in a sky washed out by moonlight and twilight is definitely not naked eye. Ignore all the rubbish in the mass media.

All the pictures being used to illustrate mass media stories were taken when the comet was in dark sky in the northern hemisphere with 8-14 inch scopes. RASA’s etc

The moon will be below the horizon at twilight after this weekend. Try from then through to mid-May.
