Didn't think you were
, just relaying how hard it is/was to see, in case others were trying to find it
But it is my usual approach if something is supposed to be naked eye, kinda confirms the reality of the naked eye label. My mate Attila and I do similar when we are looking for very faint galaxies and the like, at the limit of a scope, we both look first, say nothing while looking in the eyepiece and then compare notes on our perception of where any faint object is in the eyepiece, using clock face references or relative position to stars etc. ...actually, haven't had one of those sessions for a while now
...must ring him! they really are lots of fun, especially under dark skies
