Simon, It is a hard job to spot A1 Siding Spring with an 8" scope, I know
as I tried last Saturday, at Mag 11.1 and dimming it small and faint.
It will be closer to Mars in the next few days so it may be a bit easier to find,but unless you have a dark sky it will be nearly impossible.
I have a dark sky site near Kenilworth and have an astro night every month nearest to New Moon, the next one being the 25 this month, you are welcome too attend,see this page for details
