It’s a faint object and quite elusive in my experience.:)

Here are some of my previous efforts in imaging this object:

Hmm, I’ve just located the field in the scope/ccd camera using The Sky X Pro, so I’ll see if I can grab a series of exposures through the gross suburban light pollution and glaring neighbourhood lights.:sadeyes:
