hi Geoff
it would have to brighten considerably to be seen naked eye, especially at it's altitude and with twilight. better grab a set of binos or a scope. I've given up with the weather lately though tonight is clear I might stay up and see if the 12x50s can spot it.

at 430 it sits here from Perth .. probably from 330 I would be hunting for it as it rises ... but with aid from binoculars or a scope.

good luck!

ps I don't know if Perth is daylight saving time or not so that was gmt +8
