The ghost of Jupiter (eye nebula)

[proflight2000]

I am viewing the ghost of Jupiter and just seeing the disc as such is one thing, but taking into account her low altitude in the sky, what is the best possible view that is possible of this. I have gone to a 6mm but it kills it basically, so I am sticking with a 25mm to see the whole thing. Gawd I need some good eyepieces.
