Travis,
The comet you are referring to is Comet Lulin. It can be seen in the
southeastern sky after sunset with binoculars or a small powered telescope.
Here is a link that shows where and when to look. Remember to scroll down the
page to get to the drawing that shows the comet's position in the sky. 9:00 p.m
is a good time to see it.

You and anyone else who is interested, are welcome to come up here on the
mountain to see the comet from our place. We have a good view of the sky.
