Thanks John,

All of my positive outcomes so far have been leading up to elongation, shooting in the late afternoon, having a long dew shield and umbrella shading the scope tube, and using an IR filter. Having Venus around to do and initial sync on is a must.

Will be giving it more attempts in the next week if the weather would just clear for a change.
