Default Did anyone find the comet?

I was quite disappointed last night because although I could see both 76 and 82 Virginis, I couldn't find the comet (Starry Night had it almost on the line between them). I'm wondering if it might be too faint (my town has a small degree of light pollution), or if it was just me. I didn't expect to see impact, but I would have liked to catch that comet.

Telescope is Nexstar 11 GPS.

Did anyone find it? Any pointers for the days after on catching it?

The only thing visible in that part of sky for me was Jupiter and that was playing hide and seek behind the clouds. I was with my 8" Dobs sitting out praying hard for the clouds to go away. Darn...
