Hi Dana - there are a couple of descriptions of visual sightings at these links, a bit short on detail though (some kind of 'twitching' exercise?). These are experienced observers though, using 20" scopes.

Barbara Wilson describes a 2.5' diameter distinct haze, with no resolution. Doug Snyder describes a hazy object visible at 423x. The field wasn't crowded so it was easy to pinpoint the exact spot - but it was "
challenging to say the least".
Never seen it myself, and never will with my set-up at least! Pal 8 is my limit!
Cheers -
