In another thread a while ago I suggested to pull a dark cloth over one's head and eyepiece whilst looking at faint fuzzies - it improves your dark adaptation a bit. With M104 in particular this method has proven to work well: cover your head, give it ten minutes or so, and M104 will start to 'grow on you' = literally... Your 15mm and 9mm EP's will probably give you the best shot, but learn by experimenting!
