Hi Peter - we have a visual observation. Last night both Barry and I wound our scopes out as far as we could (the shortest fl I had with me was 6mm!) and we both saw it at 1245x in the 28", then at 600x in the 25". Seeing and transparency were both exceptional, wind was an issue though. Especially 6' off the ground on a ladder...
Only proof we had was neither revealed the position angle until after we both thought we had it- we agreed with each other, then I checked this morning and it's the right spot. Fov was too narrow to make any meaningful magnitude estimates, but it was very difficult.
Cheers,
Andrew.
