I can confirm Dave's observation, I saw it properly for the first time this morning from backyard in over a week, as clouds cleared for a while (the night i got image, last monday morning, was bad and i couldnt even see it by the time i took that photo), and boy it has dimmed since then. It appeared Large diffuse uniform white patch/ball maybe 10 arc minutes in size in 8x56 binocs, no real discernable central condensation. Still saw it NE, but it took a little effort, my conditions werent 100%, but not terrible. no colour seen in binocs either!!
