Looks like it might be visible if l find a clear and low horizon.
Uranus is also on my list.

Have adjusted my still damaged focuser to be a bit smoother, the pinion gear is bent, looks like a new mid range Crayford and an adaptor made up.
Andromeda galaxy (M31) will be due north for you at 7:30pm (your local standard time) but it is still twilight. However you should be able to pick it in 30-45 min NNW. Try using binoculars.

Uranus will be due north at 9:30pm your local time. (I’m assuming WA does not have daylight saving). Also a binocular object but you need a telescope and mid to high magnification to see a disk. (In fact at mag. 5.7 in a dark sky it can be seen unaided).
