Hi Greg, It's getting very low now local sunset is about 1850 and the comet starts to become visible visually about 1920 or so. It's harder to see now as it's sitting in the bright stuff but by 1930-40 it's pretty obvious. I've spotted it in my camera before I can see it with my eyes but then i'm as blind as a bat!! The angle is about 30 degrees looking due west. If you see where the sun makes contact it will be above that bearing. Of course it will get progressivly lower and further left as it sets. At my latitude it's usually far too low and dim by 1950 or so.
Good Luck
Paul
