Very nice.. I remember seeing it in the eyepiece about a year ago.

Thank you very much. 
I didn't have this opportunity to look through the eyepiece. I will try next time.

Make sure that you have a dark sky, night adapted eyes and a low power eyepiece.. I looked at it at 50X magnification.. it's bigger than one might realise.
