Lots of stars but no comets. Is there a "Best time" ?

thanks
Here is a screenshot from the program Stellarium (free for download, Google it). I had the time zone wrong on the program, it indicates 11:24pm but the sky shown is actually for 9:24pm in Reno. NEOWISE would be about 15 degrees above the N-NW horizon for you then - exact time is not crucial. By 10:30 it's only about 7 degrees above the horizon but the sky will be darker. Use binoculars.
