it was pretty easy to find after looking at the sky chart on sky and
telescope's web site, making some distance calculations and looking for the
fuzzy blob.
I don't know for sure if it is a halation or what, but just to the right of 
the main explosion, there "could be" the Comet.  I was looking to the North 
East.  The glow just above on the right is the full moon, and the shot was 
something like  just after 7pm Central time.
