Well, at last I can report in that I have been able to spot the Pup this viewing season.
Last night was the first clear night without the coastal cloud that has been a constant companion for many months. Seeing and transparency was excellent but with a near full moon approx 60 deg away.
The Pup popped out easily when holding Sirius just outside the field stop at 320X. Once seen, the Pup reminded visible when moving Sirious back into the FOV. I reduced magnification to 200X and was able to maintain seeing the Pup. scope was NA140SS with Baadar Fringe Killer filter on TRex mount. I did not have my ED103 on hand to try the Pup with that aperture.
Then got distracted by some magnificent views of Jupiter.
