It still looks amazing Bob!
I spent a couple of hours out last night with 2 pairs of binoculars on a tripod (varying strength) and my phone with Stellarium but I was stuffed if I could find it. Blurry eyes with a migraine probably didn't help.
Had I set my mount up I could have used coordinates but my yard is currently like a swamp with only yesterday and today with no signs of rain in recent weeks.
I may have another look tonight cloud permitting, I figure if I can locate it with binoculars I can point a camera in the right direction with my 80-2200 f2.8 Nikon lens on the camera (pre-focused on the moon). Live view on the Nikon D810 in the dark is just noise so it will be luck of the draw if I do find it and manage to capture it.
But I'd like to get one semi decent photo (stack maybe), I won't be around next time....
