schwassmann-wachmann 3

This is not quite flying related but here goes trying - it is about the sky. Do any of you extremely well informd gentlemen out there know which part of the sky the schwassmann-wachmann 3 comets can be seen?

Robin Hood, go here:http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/orbits/

Enter 73P in the search box, being the designator for schwassmann-wachmann 3. Brings up a cool Java Applet showing the orbit and co-ordinates.
