Took me ages to find the little sucker - this is the first time in about 20 years I've had to find something dim...

No detail on the disk, but then I didnt really expect anything. The seeing was pretty steady, maybe if I try again during a satellite shadow transit I might get something...

Details:

scope: http://www.acquerra.com.au/astro/lexx.html
Capture: R,G,B @ 10fps, Dragonfly2 max gain. 3 minutes per channel.

cheers, Bird
