The cluster stands out clearly in the finder (near the Swan in the opp direction from the Teapot).
I was looking at the Eagle Neb last night from reasonably dark skies through the 12", with various EPs, filtered and not. This time I could see structure and shape to the nebula (overall shape recognisable), and darkening near the centre where the eagle is supposed to be. But the eagle itself was beyond direct observation. Maybe in a 20" scope...
