Thanks Rob!
I'm the same with Centaurus A, mate. I always think I know where it is then I get bamboozled
I have the patterns in the stars burnt into my mind, so I'm hoping I can find this again without difficulty but seeing as I had such a hard time finding it to begin with, I may still have trouble
Yes, it definitely looks like a planet under low mag and it's a beautiful one at that
Next on the list is Ghost of Jupiter! Determined to find that over the weekend, will see how I go
