Yes, very satisfying :-)
I think the last time (when I was not sure about its identity) I was relying too much on goto function. This time I used only charts :-). After this exercise I believe I will be able to find it again without any problems.
The light pollution in Melbourne is awful, and from where I am, Proxima's direction was almost right above the city, so even with 150x (9mm eyepiece) the background was very obvious.
In the next couple of evenings I will try some photos :-)
