Oh, and make sure you look at some Hubble quality pics, so you know what sort of shape you are looking for.
Good luck!
EDIT: I found a good link to a sketch, that resembles what you might see http://www.docdb.net/img/dso/ngc/2/n...treicher_2.jpg |
I had a look at some hubble photos and they definitely helped. It didn't take too long to find, but it was extremely faint. I had to use peripheral vision to see it.
Tonight was good for me. I got to see the nebula and clear views of both Saturn and Jupiter. It's so exciting being able to see Jupiter's rings! Haha although I have to admit that I thought it was Venus before I used my scope
