Well alas total failure to see it on my part this morning. At 4am this morning, the sky was clear except for the NE horizon! by the time the region passed away form a chimney and out of the murk the sky was too light so I was unable to see it. I believe I may have seen it in binoculars, but the fact that it wasn’t obvious in my 80mm OG finder nor that obvious in binoculars makes me think it must be fainter than magnitude 8.
