Just come in from observing as the fog is now descending. Yes the GRS is very orange in my 18" and also well defined. In fact the outline is so clear that three nights ago when using my 4" at first look I thought a shadow transit was in progress!
Wavytone is correct in saying that the GRS was better in the 1970's. In fact after around 1990 it became difficult to observe with a small scope.
So get in now while it is good.
