You may need to ramp the power up to 200x to see a disk.
It will look bluish when you have it.
Here is a clip off SkySafari with stars to mag 9.
At mag 7.9, you should be able to just see it in a 9x50mm finder.

omg you know what, I think I was a little bit too low. I'm sure the stars I saw were the horizontal line south of the line containing Neptune.
I didn't want to move the scope around too much just incase it was the area I should've been near, now I know I was a few degrees too low.
now I hope the rain forecasted stays away so I can double check.
thanks Rob, and everyone else ... it's been a dream to see Neptune
