Mark,
I think that Suzy was describing comet Lemmon and you were asking about NEO 2012 DA14.
As it becomes brightest, just before dawn, you'll only just be able to see it in a good quality 8x50 finder. It will rapidly brighten to 9th magnitude during the 30 mins just before twilight.
You need to find brighter reference stars ahead of it's position then wait and catch it in your main optical instrument.
