Comet Swan: possible first glimpse tonight!

Yet another possible 'Great Comet' seems to have fizzled out, but nevertheless Comet Swan should be visible with binoculars (or better still - a telescope) tonight.
At around 10.00pm, once the Sun has properly set, just above the western horizon you should be able to pick out both Venus and Mercury: just a little 'up' from them is the bright star Capella: Comet Swan is to the right (north) The chart below should help (Bear in mind it's a thin waxing Moon, so also quite cool!!)
