Hi Guys,
We (Andrew durick_astro_south) and I hunted this down from Mark's place at Glenore Grove on Sat. Nice views through Andrew's 12.5" and we could clearly see the hollow in the middle and the arm which gives it the "Thor's Helmet" or P shape to it. I tracked it down in my C6 (6"f/5) as well and sketched it at 61x (Meade 24.5mm SWA and 2x Orion Shorty barlow). Will scan my sketch when I have the time and upload it here. The P shape was still apparent in the 6" (with the UHC of course) and i was amazed by how much detail i could see in the 6". The brightness was almost the same and the overall shape apparent. The difference was in the intricate detail seen in the 12.5" that was not visible or less apparent in the 6".
