Mike,

If you saw it in Glenn Williams scope from AS of Vic he uses a 20mm Nagler T5 with a H-Beta. I observed it on the Friday night in Glenns scope when the sky was a lot clearer than the Saturday Night and it was quite apparent, it didn't need averted vision and left no doubt in the observers mind what you were looking at.
