I used a 16" scope with a13mm Nagler 2x Barlow and a 5mm Celestron Xcel.
The best observation was when the galaxy was about 60 deg elevation.
One of the hardest bright  supernovae I have ever observed.

Sounds similar to what I observed, a stellar like glint on the westernside of the nucleus (from memory). Setup to try again last night butwe ended up being solidly clouded in this side of the border by the timeI got out there, around 10pmregards,CS
