I can see it easily from my back yard...once I get it located. Once I know where it is, I can just barely make it out without binocs. The binocs make it shine.
In the evening, it's straight below the the big dipper. It's moving upward and before the end of the month, it'll be in Ursa Major. If you're in the north part of the US or Canada, they say it'll be circumpolar, that is you'll be able to see it all night as it rotates with the constellation. I don't think it will be here. It'll probably dip just below the horizon in the middle of the night.

This shows where it will be on each night for the next couple of weeks.
