I observed it once from Coombell back a few years ago after a long spell
of crap weather using my 8" f/6 with a GSO 30mm. There was a general
discussion about it on a yahoo group where some really nice charts were
being past around the group. And I'll stand by that claim, however I never
been able to able to observe it since on the many other attempts except
the odd time where I couldn't say yes or no. I've always put it down to
sky conditions. From memory it appeared like a very faint shadow of
someones thumb and not a horse head.
