Well, maybe not. Outbackmanyep got an observation last night, mag 9.4. If you've got a flat western horizon and you can see Mars, you might have a shot. This evening the comet is only about half a degree from the Red Planet. You'll probably need a detailed chart though because of sky lightness/low altitude. Think tiny, fuzzy, faint spot!
