This endeavour requires enormous patience, which I don't possess and you must have in abundance Steve!
It would be great to hear of others who have done their seeing homework on how to actually use their scopes and EP's for this task and not just the things I highlighted in another thread, there's so much more to being a capable observer for this; in short it requires a lot of skill and patience.
Knowing what the Airy Disk and Diffraction Rings will look like in one's scope setup: the correct Exit Pupil and magnification needed : determining your diffraction limit in one's scope: Dawes Limit: the effect seeing will have on all this etc, etc.
I hope others with young eyes will do just this and take up this challenge.
