Default 46P, can't see

I live in the city, major light pollution, could not see 46P with my 80mm APO, mounted on NexStar GT goto.
I know my GOTO points to the right location. I slew the scope in auto between Aldebaran and other 2 stars, like Mira back and forth, all came in to the center of my eyepiece.
Alt/Az kind of suck, coordinates all ways changing.
Day before tried it with my 50 mm bino, no luck to see it either.
Is it still hard to see this comet?
