My equipment and location may also be the reason why I cant see it. I am looking through a cheap 76/700 in light polluted sydney skys. I thought it still be identifiable though?
I had trouble earlier in the week with an ED80 in the Newcastle suburbs, I suspect light pollution had something to do with it, it was very faint, I suspect any more background light and we wouldn't have been able to catch it.
