That looks like about what I expected to be able to see and right about where
the sky maps said it should be.
The article says it should be barely visible to the naked eye & "an easy target
for binoculars". I just couldn't spot it, so I didn't have a good feel for where
to aim the camera.
I should have just shot the area of sky anyway, because I'm not going to have
clear skies again for the rest of this week.

I think I spotted it (a little right from the center)

At least the little blob stays in the same place and it's not on my
star charts.
I can't locate or spot it through 7x50 binos.

I went out and looked for it a little while ago (around 9:00pm EST). I figure if
it's visible to the naked eye & can be photographed with a 35mm lens, I should
be able to find it with my binoculars. Once I can find it with binoculars, I'll
get the tripod & camera out.
I can see Orion & the Pleiades fairly clearly (5 of 7 sisters with my "naked"
eye) and those are the constellations I need to guide me to the comet's
location.
But no joy so far. I'll have to get away from town & try again.

TLDR;
A comet should be (just barely) visible to the naked eye in the next week
