Depends on your equipment. It's listed as 9th (?) mag for the brightest fragments, but I suspect you'll see first the star-like nucleus with perhaps the outline of the coma, and maybe the tail, depending on your equipment and conditions. You are aware of reducing the effects of lighting by shielding yourself and your equipment from ANY direct lighting and also indirect lighting, the stuff that creates a glow but you don't see the source directly?

Gnome, gnome on the range,
Where the deers eat the cantaloupes plain.
Where little birds turd in such curious swirls,
And the skies are all cloudy and strange.
