Found Holmes on the second glance in the very early hours of 11/11/07, right there in Perseus. France, find Mirfak, the "fork star" in Perseus' Greek-lambda shape and the transparent lit-up disc of the comet should be in your binoculars' field of view. After finding Mirfak, find Delta Persei. It's even nearer that one.

Yep, still naked-eye. Ridiculously easy in binoculars, but looking with naked eye, you can pick it up well with averted vision.
