Hi Barb and David, the best time to view Comet Lovejoy 10p.m. onwards, when the sky is Very dark. Once it clears the outer regions of the LMC it may be just visible with Good large aperture and large FOV binoculars. Only the first 5 degrees of its tail may be visible.
I have not seen it with binoculars, due to the LMC. I tried with 7x50, also you will need Very clear/dark skies.
All the best.
