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.

sorry Rob, another question, will it look blueish in the finder or only through the scope at higher power? maybe that's where I've gone wrong ...
thanks
matt
maybe I should find Uranus, and then use that as a visual representative to find neptune?
