I did do a bit of visual on the same night and I could make out the hex just but only if i used my eye that has a new lens in it. A few years ago I stuck a multimeter probe right through my left eye hitting the lens so now I have a fake one in that eye and it is much worst than my good eye for normal use.
The strange thing is on very dim objects at high powers of 400X or more the image I see with my bad eye is 100 times better and I mean totally amazingly better! The planet looks just as sharp and perfect as the best images I've ever seen. The bad point is it's very hard to hold my head in just the right place as it's like looking through a pin hole.
And what's more is my good eye has very good vision so the next time you think it's your scope, eyepiece or seeing causing the image to be soft or have low contrast just stab your eye out and get a new lens put it
