So you'll need a good Western horizon, and hope for good seeing! Will be tough for high-mag stuff, but could be suitable for a shorter focal length.
This would be good, hopefully I'll have my scope up an running by then.
If not might have to try and observe this in my 20x80's... maybe

Thanks for the heads up
