I am in Suffolk England and the time is 23.48. Outside the sky is crystal clear and cold as hell. If I look straight up I can see a fuzzy blob with the naked eye which is very clear with binoculars.

Around midnight Comet Holmes should be directly overhead, so I think you've got it!
For some good pictures of what it looks like, plus how to find it in the sky (so you can check yourself) check out this link:

It probably is. It should be near the brightest star in Perseus, which is about mid way between the big M of Cassiopeia on the left and the teeny tiny little dipper looking Pleiades star cluster on the right.

Cool. I remember watching Hale-Bop several years ago, quite a sight. Excellent sky, good work McIntyre.
