Machholz

The clouds break tomorrow, my little girl has never seen a comet and my version of The Sky doesn't seem to have Machholz. Where should it be on the evening of Thurdsay 1/13 - either jump points or RA/Dec coordinates would be great.

Thanks,
Ed

It's near the Pleiades right now. You can find more details here:
