Within range of my 8" scope. Has anybody spotted it yet?

Interesting. From my vantage point I can get the from about 3:30am. Maybe I'll get up early tomorrow.

Same here. Might pull an all-nighter, as the skies promise to be clear for the first time in months, and in the weekend too!

Amazing, isn't it?! Hoping to plan a session during the day. Shame our youngest kept us awake for most of last night - might need to load up on coffee early evening!

3:30 looks about right for me too. Nice that its close to Porrima for us low tech star hoppers.

Bit too near the city lights for me. Shame, 11.1 is an easy target on most occasions.

Shame it's not very well placed for me.
