      Have looked on Stellarium, if I'm still awake after midnight I'll be off out to have a look.

      its pretty high at the moment so worth a look if you have an iphone use the compass or a normal one if you have one and point to 146deg (check with stellarium at exact time) and look for a brightish star that doesnt flicker and thats how i found it, it somehow doesnt look real its weired, good luck :)
