Wouldn't mind having a look for it tonight - believe its crossing between Andromeda and Cassiopia, question is, even if I did get the time and location right - is it visible with my little 6inch Dob?

I've got a great dark site and if metcheck is a little more reliable that it's been lately should be clear from midnight till dawn - no work tomorrow what do you folks think, must be worth a few hours effort !

is it visible with my little 6inch Dob

Probably not ... yet. And the moon is making an appearance now to wash things out a bit.

[Lincoln]

Oh well back to my old friend Orion then

Don't worry. It is just an "Irishism".
