I just did a comparison between Robs map and CDC and noticed a few things.

Firstly, I would never be able to find and positively identify this without the map as my CDC catalogue only goes down to mag12.

Secondly, Robs map seems to be flipped in both vertical and horizontal planes, meaning the map will represent the eyepiece view in a newtonian

Thirdly, at this time its highest in the sky at around 7pm , so get out there early
