Hi Petr - no more Moon-free mornings for a while and just at the moment any time is good although you like to get it higher in the sky and it is fairly low in the early evening. The comet is circumpolar and visible from southern locations all night. As long as you can see the Southern Cross you'll be able to see the comet. It's moving through Musca at the moment, just to the right of the Southern Cross as you look at it in the evening.
I viewed it last night around midnight with 4.5" f8 reflector & 21mm eyepiece (43x) and it was very easy to see despite the bright moon and poor sky conditions (light cloud & smoke). Also got an image, here:

Good luck!
