No point waiting, opposition is right on the Full Moon, and I can tell you that it is still dust affected. I was looking at it with my 8" Edge @ 2032mm focal length for the last couple of nights and there is little chance of the dust storm clearing the atmosphere in the next ten days. It is very bright, and filters (like a red) will improve contrast a little, but don't expect to see much detail. A number of folks checked It out last night at Mangrove Mtn, and it was generally disappointing, regardless of equipment.
