I managed to observe Phobos during the 2015 Opposition with my 5.5” refractor. I could not find Deimos at the time with it being very close to the limit for my scope. I was using an occulting bar to block out the bright glare of Mars when trying to find the very faint Deimos, but to no avail.
Your reports are inspiring me to have another go. The challenge of course, is to have good seeing conditions during those small time windows where the moons are well separated from Mars.
