In the spirit of the Aurora watches, here is a comet watch.
There is a naked eye visible comet near Orion. You'd need a fairly dark sky to see it without binoculars or a telescope. Unless you have a tracking telescope, its awfully hard to find a moving comet in an untracked eyepiece. The larger field of view in a binocular is nice.

A view from Portland. I needed binoculars. This is a 10 second photo at f/1.4 (iso 100 though, noise shows up bad on a black sky) I hope thats a big water spot in the middle of my lens.
