Well ... I had a look for the venerable Mr Lovejoys Comet this morning
I think I found it in the spot indicated on the maps, tucked away below "The Teapot" (Sag.)
It appeared to almost form a Parallelogram with 3 other bright field stars ?
It was either the comet or an unresolvable DSO ?
Unfortunately my Starry night Pro, does not seem to have picked up Comet Lovejoy in its updates (I am not the first to experience this starry night problem from memory)
