According to the Ephemerides the Comet is now moving away from the Earth and is at Perihelion (closest point to) with the Sun during early July according to the BAA Comet Section chart:
At Perihelion most forces are acting on the Comet and it is usually at its brightest.
Also at that time it will become unobservable as it will be too close to the Sun to be seen-shame really because it says that's when it will actually be at its brightest.
Its close to Beta Auriga at the moment and will gradually be consumed into the Northern twilight as the Month of June draws to a close.
Good clear early morning Summer skies...
